Rödluvan and the
ducks
part 2
2007 |

 |
|
Now it was March 3, 2007. I had more fun with the ducks. |
 |
|
The snow was melting in
the park but not gone yet. This beautiful male showed up for
me. The green head looked gorgeous. |
 |
|
If you look at a male from another
angle, the head is blue. |
 |
|
The female is sleeping and the male
is almost sleeping. |
 |
|
The ducks were sleeping on the
bridge and did not care about the bikes that were passing. |
 |
|
This male showed up for the female. |
 |
|
Now the male was looking at
me. Does she have food for me? |
 |
|
No, I did not open the food
bag yet. I first wanted to look at the sleeping ducks. |
 |
|
Now I opened the food bag.
And one of the female ducks was biting in my boots. The duck did not see
that a bit of bread was coming down. |
 |
|
Suddenly 3 ducks began biting each
other. |
 |
|
But the
3rd duck, who was a female,
disappeared. The other 2 males had a real fight. |
 |
|
FLAPP, FLAPP, FLAPP !!! |
 |
|
Now all the ducks were awake and
went following me. |
 |
|
I dropped a bit of bread.
Then all were looking where the bread should hit the ground. |
 |
|
A male begging for bread. I said. "Yes, you will get a bit of bread" |
 |
|
The ducks on the other side of the
pond did not know there was food. They still were sleeping. |

|
The snow had melted away more. And
the ducks had their nap again. |
 |
|
No, not all ducks were sleeping. Two
ducks were in a hard fight. And they did not want to stop. |
 |
|
A
man chased the fighting ducks in into the water and thought they
would stop. But the continued the fight in the water. |
 |
|
A hard fight in the glistening
water. |
 |
|
At another place in the pond. It was
peaceful . |
 |
|
I had a lot of ducks around me. |
 |
|
Some more ducks. |
 |
|
Now there were 3 ducks starting a
fight. |
 |
|
One of them
disappeared but 2 ducks still were fighting. |
 |
|
Oh my! This was a very hard
fight. |
 |
|
I met a guy who also was
looking at the fight. |
 |
|
I said to the guy that they had
beeen fighting for a while. And that they will fight until one of them
showed he is a looser. |
 |
|
Now it was serious because one of
the ducks was bleeding! |
 |
|
Then the guy tried to intervene. He tried to separate them with his foot. |
 |
|
One of the fighting ducks looked
confused but wanted to take up the fight again. |
 |
|
But then the looser duck was
flying away. |
 |
|
The winner duck still was there and now
he wanted some bread from me. The guy and me saw
that even this duck was hurt. There is a wound on his side. |
 |
|
Here a lot of males were trying to
get the only female. The one who is in the middle. |
 |
|
Another duck fight by other males. |
 |
|
Other ducks were sleeping on the
bridge. But these 2 ducks were already a couple and did not need to
fight anymore. |
 |
|
The only female in the group was flying away. |
 |
|
Here a couple walking to the
pond. |
 |
|
This female was standing in a
puddle. |
 |
|
The pond with the hospital

Another picture of the pond. |
 |
|
Still lively in the water because
not all male had not a female yet. |
 |
|
When I came back to work I
found this ornament duck in the office of a teacher. It's beautiful! |

|
I went to the pond by the
hospital again. Now most of the duck hade moved and should build
their home and have egg and ducklings. There were only some ducks
there and the gulls were there too. |
 |
|
Suddenly a big yellow bird came. It
was not a duck and not a gull. It was an ambulance helicopter that was going to land on the roof of the hospital. |
 |
|
I said goodbye to the ducks.
Now it was spring and soon should feed the duck in my beige summer
jacket. |
