Most blog posts I write seem to mention the fact that I go walking with the Robot a lot, so why change a habit of a life time. He is getting to an age that he is noticing things more around him and he loves the ducks. He follows them around with his eyes, I think he likes the white ones the best!
Still a little too small to appreciate the duck feeding himself I decided that I would feed the ducks for him. He could watch. Let’s face it if I gave the Robot the duck food he would eat it himself! The day we went for a walk along the canal we happened to follow a man that also happened to be feeding the ducks. This was not good, the poor ducks didn’t need my food too. We walked a bit faster and shook him off.
This walk was on one of the days I lost the Internet and I had walked a really long way, I had failed to eat lunch and I was getting peckish. We walked home so I could eat food and before I got tempted to eat the duck food, at this point we hadn’t found some hungry ducks.
As if by magic two ducks appeared from nowhere, how do they do that? This was my opportunity to get pictures! I parked the buggy and enticed the ducks out of the water. Camera at the ready I think I got a couple of nice shots and I didn’t eat their food!
This post reminds me of … All the ducks are swimming in the water, tra la la la la la tra la la la la
Do you feed the ducks? Did you know feeding them bread isn’t healthy? Where is the strangest place you’ve found ducks?
#ABC123 is a challenge I have set myself to complete 26 weeks of posts, every week a different letter of the alphabet. This week was the letter D.
Gosh we’ve probably killed a hundred ducks as I used to always take the boys for a walk or a cycle to the duck pond when they were younger. We still love getting out of the house. Very fond memories. TY for linking up with #FamilyFun

I don’t think they’ll ever go extinct from it! I’m looking forward to toddler time duck feeding! Hopefully won’t lose him in the canal!
Oh lovely! We’ve got a park near us with a huge duck pond and they sell special duck feed with notices not to feed them bread. I think people probably still do though. At my old uni in Lancaster there were always ducks by the accommodation, quite funny! #FamilyFun
Ducks in fun places is alway amusing! It’s when there are swans now that is scary!
Oh I didn’t know bread wasn’t healthy for ducks! I have fed them in the past – we used to buy this duck food from a shop along the canal – it wasn’t bread so maybe that was the reasoning!! You did get some lovely photos! #familyfun x

Thanks! I find places that sell duck food quite amusing. It’s a little niche!
Lovely picture 🙂 I’ve not really seen the ducks in a strange place but I seen some people walking a swan out the woods guiding it back to the pond ..
Ha ha I imagined on a lead then but that would be weirder!
This is an interesting challenge. Great picture of the ducks. My kids used to get so excited when they see ducks and loved feeding them too. It’s always a fun day out.
Thanks in enjoying planning it in, it’s helping me find my blogging feet! I still get excited to see ducks and I’m 30 odd! X
My son puts EVERYTHING that I give him in his mouth, so I completely understand. This is a great challenge and I’d love to try it!
