Have you ever seen a happier duck?
Millie visited my studio late this afternoon with her two tiddlers (Mike keeping watch from afar). A handful of grain and some porridge oats, and they couldn’t be happier.

Nestled beneath this very wide duck (Millie) is a brood of ducklings, sheltering from the rain. Mike is nearby, standing guard.

Millie & Mike Wazowski arrived with their fresh out of the egg brood this morning! #Ducks #Ducklings #IsleOfWight #GardenVisitors #Wildlife

Whilst Rita & Ron visit daily, Millie & Mike are regular visitors to my studio too.
Millie is almost certainly sitting on eggs somewhere nearby so expect to see ducklings sometime in April. Millie likes a tough guy. Mike* is blind in one eye and a fierce fighter with any would-be suiters .
* Named after one-eyed Mike Wazowski of Monsters Inc.

Rita’s current routine is breakfast at our place, head out for most of the day (almost certainly nesting but not yet sitting) and then spend a few hours in the afternoon outside my studio. Ron is often close by, warding off any would-be suitors.

It’s ‘tuck your bill under your wing’ cold out there this morning.
This is Rita (Ron the Duck’s partner). Ron has once again claimed our garden as his territory, seeing off any would-be intruders. We think Rita is nesting nearby but not yet sitting as she spends most mornings close to my studio.

These three (Ron and two of his mates) patiently wait on the roof every morning for breakfast to be served.

That was delicious thank you!
I might come and see you now more often 😀 🦊

This evening Bennetts wallabies moved in to the garden.
Gorgeous as always, although they do eat everything (and they love the golden ash).

There’s always something special about getting an echidna in a suburban garden.
