we normally drop some corn into the shallows. keeps them busy trying to find it,as long as they find some they will come back.just not too much at once( we feed twice a week at the moment).

if a hopper is to be used i would put it in the water,bearing in mind that alot of food may be wasted.

the raft is a good option where possible,keeping the duck away from predators but allowing other birds to feed.

You could try an auto feed hopper, i got one for £70 ish but to be honest it was crap, moisture got in the battery and knacked the job. I would be intersested to hear if anybody has had success with normal feeders.

 

"Why not use a torch if its dark" Because the duck will already be there !! :doh:
