Today is Sunday. Having saved various bits of stale bread (and some decaying spinach), we took Edward to feed the ducks at the Laren Duckpond.
The Laren ducks love us!
We were greeted with vigorous quacking as soon as we got out of the car. The ducks were so excited that about 20 of them climbed out of the pond and milled around our feet, while the other 30 or so swam towards us, with great expectations.
I discovered the ducks really don't like spinach. They will eat it if there is nothing else on offer. On the other hand, ducks love to eat stale bread.
Dear Edward is very brave. He didn't really appreciate being put to stand on the ground among 20 hungry, quacking ducks. To his credit he didn't cry (or indeed move). Rather, he stood rooted to the spot in front of Daddy's legs, shaking with fear.
We now realise that hungry ducks are a bit scary for a 16 month old. Don't worry, we rescued him straight away.
