Terrie 12 Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 You could put some call ducks down (i think im right in saying) that years ago they used to put these down to encorage wild ducks. Quote Link to post
welshboy454 3 Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 You could put some call ducks down (i think im right in saying) that years ago they used to put these down to encorage wild ducks. Try feeding the ponds. A little barley in the shallows and check for feathers and signs of them around the margins. If they are visiting increase the feed - not too much just enough to keep them interested you don't want them to stay all day just to flight in. As a guideline a bucket of barley will keep up to 100 ducks visiting at flight time. On a 40 yards by 30 yards pond we feed regularly from 1 August to March 31 I counted 125 mallard and a friend gave up on the teal on an evening flight. Quote Link to post
