Visiting Duck Taking Off

This duck has been coming to our garden for about 10 years now. Every year between March and August it drops by almost every day at least once. For the first years he was joined by his "wife", but sadly she hasn't come here for a few years now. We used to have chicken and geese in the garden, thus the ducks came by for some food during breeding season.

Most of the time we have special duck food pellets from the pet store, but sometimes he's just being served some bread. Although we know it might not be too good for him, we think he can survive on his own as he doesn't come every day and only a few months a year. And he looks like he's one of the best-fed and healthiest ducks in his lake ;)
