You will remember this story from the other week, well who did I bump into today no other the Dyson :)

This is the story for anyone that never saw it.

Came across a nice story while at LM today, a chap and his wife have a female Mallard called Dyson, they have had her for eleven years and take her out for walks today she walked the paths at LM so took a picture of her on Norman’s shoulder she is very tame I have another when she was just going into her cat carry, wow would have loved to have taken her home with me.

Well that was the story so Dyson is starting this tread for me, I will try and get a few ready later I have not been in long and only got these ready to post now.

Not knowing the ladies name I am calling her Mrs Norman, and these are the picture and Dyson also said she is sorry Hazel, was not with us she would like to met you and soon.

And she just needed a dip to cool off in the sun.

  • Awwww Jim,  I just love the Dyson photos, she's such a beautiful Mallard and looks so enchanting the way she enjoys walking the reserve with Norman and Mrs Norman and meeting the other visitors !   I really hope next time we meet that Dyson is with them although I'm not sure I wouldn't sneek her home with me  lol

    I've had the L.Moss mallards trying to land on me when I have seed !  guessing Mally is thus named because she vacuums up all her food lol
