Gallery of Lovely Ducks

Audrey Hepduck
I don't know why it's so relaxing to duck watch, but it is... After the ducks are let out in the morning, there's a great deal of wing stretching, worm-hunting, bath-taking, kibble-gobbling - and then, not long after all that excitement, the ducks find cozy spots to scratch out hollows and snooze.

I'm not the only one who likes to watch the ducks - note Charlie sauntering along the fence in the background.
When he gets brave, he'll slip in among the ducks and stroll around pretending that he might, at any time, decide to take them on. Fortunately, their size (and talons) and his healthy sense of self-preservation mean he restrains his predatorial impulses when he's around these over-sized canaries. It doesn't stop him from having his little fantasies...
