About Me

My photo
I'm a simple Scottish girl with an unusual name and a strange obsession for nail polish! My aim is to capture what the eye sees, with a camera! Too much nail polish and never enough time. I have also started wildlife photography, which I enjoy very much. Welcome to my little world :-)

Hand Feeding a Mallard

 

This is me hand feeding a male Mallard duck. He was very friendly and trusting and probably very hungry. I only ever feed ducks seeds, sweetcorn or proper duck pellets.

NEVER FEED DUCKS OR GEESE OR SWANS bread...it isn't good for them and can cause a condition called Angel Wing.

  7. Hello, dear Ananka! I often saw how people threw bread to feed ducks. I didn't know it's so dangerous for them.

    1. Hi Irina! Yes it is very common to feed ducks bread here too but it really isn't healthy for them. Some areas in Scotland do put signs up not to feed them bread but people don't listen!
