| Female Muscovy Ducks |
This photo journal features two charismatic Muscovy ducks. One could be forgiven for thinking one had been transported to Mexico yesterday when these two ducks were spotted on Bingley canal in West Yorkshire, England. They are Muscovy ducks, not native to England, but popular with poultry keepers. In this case the adventurous pair had escaped for an afternoon swim from the allotments which back onto the canal. If you are unfamiliar with allotments, these are small plots of land owned by local government councils in the UK and rented out for gardening and as smallholdings. When I pointed out the escapees to the owner he shrugged and said, "they'll be back when they're hungry!"
