We have a Vernal pond in our backyard. It’s a good and a Bad thing.
The good; Lots of interesting wildlife!
The Bad: Your not allowed to do anything within 50 feet of it.
Every year we have a family of Mallard Ducks and Ducklings. Last year it was the first year since we’ve been here that any of the ducklings have survived. Foxes, Minx’s and other predators have had their way with them. The two survivors have returned. They are both males. I’m sure next year they will bring back their spouses. I’ll keep you updated. Here are some photos of the ducklings there are 7 or 8 so far.
