Brian the Drake - RIP

Brain and his sister

We have ducks - and apart from their lack of intelligence, wander round the place, hopefully eating bugs, grubs and other potentially unpleasant things.

But when we came to lock them up  for the night  ( just so that they can remember where to lay their eggs )  we  were one short.

And not difficult to find


















Lots of feathers around the place - and then a carcass . If you are of a senstibvei disposition , avoid  the next couple of photos

last year we lost a duck to otters in the past.

So tis could be an otter again. But the other possibility is a stoat . there is facebook group  for stoats in Orkney, to report sightings and spread.
