Forgot to mention earlier in the week – saw a floating lynch mob. Half a
dozen mallard drakes taking turns to hold a hapless victim’s head under
water ie drown him. Loads of ducks about but a general surplus of drakes
compared with ducks and few big families.
Cap'n, I've seen this same phenomenon & it's always been drakes trying to
force themselves on ducks--are you sure that the 'victim' wasn't female?
Two silly paint dinks – herself dropped windlass onto rope coil – it
bounced off to chip a cant.Tsk, Tsk--such language in a family posting!!
