I will check. <br /><br />esb: I think the ducks just left - there were still a few mooching about wondering where the water was.<br /><br />Merisi: Almost certainly a Hooded Crow. <br /><br />Smedette: I am guessing it is nt a popular duck spot.<br /><br />Simon: Yes I can barely handle one blog so got rid of the others which were not in use.

I know in Melbourne Albert Park lake was built because it was a swamp.<br />It would give me the shits to have a pond near my house full of sewage.<br /><br />You got rid of all your other blogs? I had a couple a few years back and I almost had an identity crisis!<br /><br />BTW I am down to the last few weeks of drinking warm beer having lost a bet with Jim last year.. I thought i would do until May....

I wonder if they had a duck roundup and temporary holding pen, or if the ducks just left and came back on their own. I am with SK Waller wondering what happened to the other aquatics.<br /><br />The most eXciting thing to happen to me today was failure in the online pizza ordering process. But it is straightened out now and coffee has also been consumed, so I am off soon to sell a pair of shoes, hopefuLLy.<br /><br />I hope Cate enjoys her iPad. I live with mine practicaLLy all day long.esbbostonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09946279220170973147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804114935312811175.post-70496777780659303922012-04-04T12:25:08.830-04:002012-04-04T12:25:08.830-04:00It always surprises me how shallow these ponds are...It always surprises me how shallow these ponds are once the water is removed. We had one near the last place we lived, and when they emptied it, it was much shallower than I'd imagined.<br /><br />I wonder what happens to all of the other water life: frogs, fish, insects, etc.Kaye Wallerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06491607694389685973noreply@blogger.com
