After a long day swimming, ducking and diving and mucking about on the river, Deirdre and Diarmuid Duck spent a romantic evening standing on the river wall admiring the view
watching the sun go down and quacking about building a nest
When the nest was built, Deirdre laid 10 eggs, and after 28 days, Siobhán, Sinéad, Órflaith, Eóin and Dónal Duck arrived, and little Buí, the odd one out. All are doing very well and living happily on the river Shannon.
and a happy evening to them all..may the wind ever be at their backs and may their waters be calm and filled with many delicious grasses.
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful tale! (Now, if only I could pronounce those Gaelic names!)

ReplyDeleteI do like that photo of the parents, admiring the sunset! I haven't seen any ducklings or goslings yet this year, but I have mostly been in the woods, looking for wildflowers. I love the heron, further down, too!!

ReplyDeleteThat little different duckling will grow up to be a beautiful swan?
ReplyDeleteMum used to keep a lot of ducklings, and I was the helper. It is quite rare to have an odd duck out.
