We didn't know this at the time, I thought she had just disappeared. On arriving home from a shopping trip we passed the entrance to our courtyard and I could see a mass of yellow outside the front door and our missing Muscovy duck. She couldn't return to the back garden with all her ducklings, more than twenty of them, and had walked them round into the lane and along to our entrance and was waiting at the front door. I picked up a laundry basket and put all the ducklings into it and with their Mum following we all went through the house to the back garden where I put them in an old rabbit run to keep them safe from the seagulls, who were only too pleased to have a very small duckling. I was amazed that she had somehow come to the conclusion that this was the way back to our back garden where she lived.
