Daisy, Danny and Dolores Beakley calmly watch as Alli-Baba glides slowly by.

How did they know that he didn’t fancy duck for lunch today I wonder? I’m sure that if I decided to go for a swim, he wouldn’t be so picky.
Wishing you all a splendid weekend.
These ducks are brave! Great shot, Sylvia!
Yes they are. 😅 Thanks, Helen.
I hope you didn’t go swimming – we still want more photos from you! 🙂
You have no worries in that regard. 😀
Lucky ducks. 🙂
Very lucky indeed. 🙂
Amazing shot! Those ducks were brave!
Thanks, Donna. Brave or foolhardy? Maybe a bit of both. 🙂
Talk about living dangerously!
Absolutely, Carol. Those ducks were playing chicken. 🙂
I hear the Jaws theme in my head.
There’s a melody for every occasion, Frank. 🙂
I do hope you have a mating pair left. They may be just a wee bit too daring.
I hope so too. Silly ducks. 😯
Those ducks would be well advised to do a duck when in such company, but not into the water!
They didn’t heed my warning. 🙄
Ali baba should have gone to Specsavers 🙂
I’m sure the ducks wouldn’t recommend that. 🙂
There could be ruffled feathers yet, Ad 🙂 🙂 A good weekend to you!
I’m sure there used to be ten ducks. 😳
😦 😦
That’s a great picture, Sylvia! How is Igashio doing?
Thanks, Lavinia. Igasho is just fine. He’s not quite so orange at the moment, but I’m sure that in Spring he’ll be in full technicolour. 🙂
Have a great weekend….. probably he fancied something more spicy…. 🙂
Hehe………lucky ducks. 😅
Lovely picture!
But … is a bit scary to include Alli-Baba gliding near the birds 🙂 I am glad that he did not make any more scene with those cute birds in the water.
No, there was no duck munching whilst I was watching, YC. I don’t think I could bear to see those cute little duckies come to any harm.
Lovely!
Thanks, Fi. 🙂
Maybe Ali Baba just doesn’t like duck or he is vegan 😀 Happy days for the ducks 😀
Happy days indeed. May it remain so. 🙂
Oh my that looks like a close call! Perhaps they are friends?
Who knows, Sue? They must have a pact of some sort. Maybe he knows that if he eats all the ducks now, there’ll be none hatched for next season. 😀
I have seen ducks near crocs on riverbanks & wondered why instinct didn’t tell them to move away! Great photo
Thanks, Gerrie. I guess we’ll never know. 🙂
I love watching ducks…it’s so relaxing.
Me too, Jill. I was really hoping Mr A wasn’t feeling hungry. 🙂
It’s dangerous.One moment there happens nothing but on an other moment perhaps he catch them
This can definitely happen. Maybe that’s why there seem to be less ducks each week. 😳
I love the names of your friends!!!
Haha………..Just call me Dr Doolittle. 😅
Yikes!!
🤣
Wonderful photo with commentary! I think those duckies are being a bit over-confident. 🙂
Thank, Lynette. I guess he just wasn’t hungry at that moment. 😀
Superb post
Thanks so much, Marylou. 🙂
I think they thought they could take him on … after all 3 against 1. LOL
Great capture … Have a wonderful weekend, Sylvia. It’s been a bit brisk.
I’m sure you’re enjoying it. Not me ~~~~ : – (
Izzy 😎
Fascinating and lovely photo! Alli-Baba glides by so slowly and can turn around so quickly …
Yes, that’s very true. Best not to get too complacent. 🙂
Lovely picture
Thanks, Tina. 🙂
they can co-exist after all 🙂
Apparently so. There do seem to be fewer ducks than usual though. 😦
It’s better to eat lunch than to be lunch, eh?
Absolutely so, Nancy. 😅
