The Saga of "Lulu the Duck" is continuing amazement to us. While we were on our last mission to South Africa, a wild mallard duck hen decided that it was nice and quiet by our front door and built herself a nest. Each spring since (this now make fours years running), Lulu has returned laid her eggs, hatched them and then sneaks out in the dark of night with her ducklings without us having a chance to even see them. How rude!! All that she leaves us is a hollow nest, broken egg shells and a few feathers. We call her Lulu after the hit song of the 1930's titled "Lulu's Back In Town". We're always excited when she returns.
She'll have a quiet next spring to herself while we're in Africa and the following spring we'll be back and excited to await her return. I hope she'll be excited to see us too! Now Sophie that's a different situation! However, as long as she knows Sophie is on her tether and can't reach her, she's quite relaxed knowing her camouflage makes it difficult for anyone to see her.
