Suicidal ducks


As reported before, the ducks do tend to go out for a wander. They do come back though.

So I was coming up the hill and met an obstruction in the road  . Stopping , sounding the horn, advancing menacingly towards them in the car  all had no effect .  After a  minute or so  they clearly got fed up with wandering round the middle  of the road and went off to explore the neighbours' field.




And i was the permitted to go on my way.

But they are probably safe here. Livestock in the road is not that infrequent. True , someone lost one of their ducks when they went exploring the main Stromness to Kirkwall road  but the chickens that regularly  hang round  next to the main road don't seem tot be diminishing in numbers.
