The cold weather of the
last weeks has had a surprising result.4000 Russian red-necked ducks have 16 in
Britain where the weather, just below freezing, is like spring to them.
The Russian red-necked
ducks manage perfectly well at temperature down to 30 degrees 17 zero. They wouldn’t think of 18 home at minus 40. But, as the cold gets
colder, they make a quick 19 to take off together all with a single
thought 20
: “Go somewhere 21 .”
Last Tuesday the small 22
near my house was invaded by above three
hundred Russian red-necked ducks, a noisy lot, though I must say they were not
troublesome. Our local birds were at first quite 23 by these 24 from far away, and there were some
obvious language difficulties too.
At 9 I went down 25 to the edge of the lake, with a little
bread and milk 26 our own birds. I saw them standing about,
27 the foreigners to eat up everything. But
my worry proved 28
; The red-necked birds didn’t like the bread
at all. Many of them 29 a
mouthful, and threw up. In fact they pushed and fought to get away from the
food, 30
own birds looked at them 31 .
My wife had 32 me down the path with a hopeless cake she
had made on Monday evening. She had forgotten to turn off the electricity in
time, and the cake got 33 . Now, funnily enough, the Russian birds 34 it, though our
birds wouldn’t touch it. We realized then the visitors were used to 35 bread probably, and my wife agreed to
make some for them.
