I was having lunch with a friend by a river recently and we were soon surrounded by ducks and gulls waiting for scraps. You know the feeling.. someone is watching my every move.. ...I felt a nudge at my back and turned around to see a duck staring at me.I stared back.A Mexican standoff!
A couple of these cheeky ducks had actually came right up to the table and they weren't camera shy at all.They stood there with an air of expectation and infinite patience.I stared, they quacked. They were actually so cute they made me laugh despite their absolute cheek at trying to steal my lunch right from under my nose..I think the larger one was the mother or father teaching the smaller ones the tricks of the trade.
They were obviously good at this as there were signs saying please don't feed the ducks.Obviously the ducks hadn't read this or if they had they were ignoring it!
Anyway the ducks won in the end.They looked so comical and were so fearless I had to reward them for their bravery-guiltily I threw them the last scraps of my roll,thereby perpetuating their cheeky behaviour.Sorry next people coming to eat their lunch in peace by the river...
