Drive Thru Rose Garden?
Monday, January 30th, 2006We just returned from Mona Vale, a historic manor and gardens between our house and the city center. The Avon runs through the grounds and people come to stroll, enjoy the gardens, and feed the ducks. My previous experience with duck feeding is from Tanglewood, where the ducks are pretty aggressive when the food comes out. These ducks that make their summer home along the Avon are not so people aggressive, and they mainly stayed in the river while we threw bread at them. This was partially due to two of the dominant males coming up onto the bank and chasing away any other ducks that tried to get out of the water.
