Mason came out today with her twelve babies. Since the one we hatched was named Brian (born on Easter weekend) the ducklings have been awarded the title of the 12 Apostles. It's all the fault of Monty Python mad children.
They are very sweet and fluffy. It's slightly alarming that she has chosen to sleep on the bank tonight. Hopefully if the fox comes (he last visited three weeks ago and took a chicken) she can just tumble them all down the hill and into the moat.
Tomorrow, if the weather holds, I'll inspect the hives and try and sort out the two in our neighbour's garden.
The chicken came out yesterday with her four golden chicks. Gorgeous.
