Been down the pond this afternoon and there was a pair of Mallard come off on arrival. Fed the edges with barley and potato skins. Hopefully they will return and bring friends with them.

I havnt seen duck on the pond yet. There is a couple of pairs mallard On a beck that runs along the length of the wood. As for the space, I have cleared 4 or 5 large trees from the edge of the pond which has left a large opening in the canopy. You can just see the gap at the far end of the picture

Hi, I have just acquired some new permission which has a small pond on the edge of a wood. The pond is approx 20m x 8m and around 1 1/2 foot at its deepest. Just wondering if anyone has any advise of feeding and attracting ducks to get a couple of flight shoots throughout the season. As far as I know, it has never been shot or fed. Any help much appreciated.

Thanks mate, I have fed the edges of the pond. It’s around 5 inches deep at the margins and goes to around 1 1/2 feet at its deepest. I can’t find any signs of ducks (feathers etc) and the feed I had put down doesn’t seem to have been touched. Fingers crossed they find it

Any help would be greatly appreciated
