Thank's AW, I shall let'She Who must Be Obeyed' that you complimented the Lady's Garden 🙂
It is lovely just there, I often meditate near it, the shrubs around it are hung with differing chimes and bells the sound they make from small breezestogether with the sound of stepped waterfall into pondand the larger amount of songbirds weve had this year is perfect to sit in and watch the little birds wash themsleves on the steps of the waterfall, the smells of the different plants and flowers, watchingthe fish, the frogs, the occasional dragonfly, the toads...the butterflies... the bees...I have newts too... I could go on....sorry, yes at times it is my own little bit of paradise; it really is.

RE: advice please mallard mum & 13 chicks in my pond
Welcome to the world of ducks we have a pond with ducks and have been a sanctury for the local rescue center to bring abandond chicks for about 4 years now. One female mallard we rescued3 years ago has breed in our pond for the last two years she has just hatched 12 chicks deep joy and hours of such delight and fun.
To feed it is best not to feed bread or not too much they love snails and slugs but not if slug pellets have been used. We feed our ducks on a mix of layer pellets (chicken food) and mixed corn. Hope this helps
