Oh wow!! Abcowboy, look at that nest!!! Please keep us informed about the ducklings... and their mum, of course. I felt awful earlier this year because when I went to move my sun lounger (which is stacked up against the side of my house) out onto the grass in my garden, I saw a little robin's nest, built into the packed away sun lounger. I live in the UK so the sun lounger doesn't get used very often (although, the weather at the moment is absolutely beautiful)... so anyway, I saw the robins had built a nest in my sun lounger and I couldn't bring myself to move it so yeah, now I sunbathe lying on a towel on the ground. I see the little robins fly to the sun lounger every so often and the other day, one of the robins had a grub or something in his/her beak so I reckon they are now proud parents! Can't wait to hear about the ducklings! 24 more for me please xxx

Anyway, as I was cutting the 2 year old grass a momma duck flew up out of the grass right in front of me! Scared the heck out of me but I immediately stopped the lawnmower and got off to investigate. Sure enough, right in front of me was her nest full of eggs.
I carefully cut around the nest and built up a bit of a wall around it with the grass clippings to make sure it was still hidden from predators. I'll keep an eye on it and see if I can get a pic once the eggs hatch. I'm so glad she was sitting on the nest when I was cutting grass otherwise I would have never known it was there and would have felt terrible if I'd have run over it!
