Description
A watercolour inspired by memories of my Aylsbury ducks foraging for slugs in my wild garden in dappled sunlight underneath the leafy trees.
The three pure white ducks loved to wander about all day searching for slugs and snails to eat.They were very useful helpers for my efforts to grow delphiniums ( loved by slugs !)
We raised the ducks from eggs hatched by an unsuspecting Marron hen who was sitting on and hatching her own eggs.
They were named Tulip, Bunji and Jemima by my daughter .The ducks are sadly now gone to duck heaven ! They were prematurely despatched to the next world be a hungry fox during the heavy snowfall in the winter of 2010 .
