The Duck Pond

Tough moments and funny moments on today's Wellness Walk. I'll tell you about the latter... 

I've been running the weekly walk from Millom for a little over a year now. Most weeks we'll wander down to, or past, the "duck pond" - a lagoon that's part of the nature reserve formed by the sea wall.
We've seen a bazillion of different gulls, swans, cormorants, even, memorably, spoonbills. What we've never seen, are ducks. But hey ho.
Today I spent an increasingly baffling, but good humoured, amount time explaining to D & S that these really, really... no really... aren't ducks, I'm still not sure they believed me.
Hmmmm, explains a lot.
