The season of the mallard is amongst us! I have what I call a =93mallard =
feeder=94 in my garden and each night I fill it up with around 20lbs of =
seed. Religiously every morning I get over 60 mallards fly in and
literally gobble the bloody lot up! I don=92t have a pond as such, these =
ducks found this treat about 5 years ago and have been coming ever
since. About this time too 6 to 10 wood ducks join the feast.. Here is
a recording of the mallards and wood ducks descending on the feeder.
