Friday Feathered Friend
Who knew ducks could be so interesting? Once again thanks Louise Thomas for the picture and words.
"Last summer we had a mallard couple that regularly visited us. They would waddle up the drive way, the female in the lead, and come around the back to the kitchen door to see if we had any rice or other tasty bits. I often wonder what happened to them, and how they negotiated the roads, and wondered how word got around in the first place that we might be the local soup kitchen. I was going to get a paddling pool for them, but they didn't turn up this summer. Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) male at Days Bay duck pond. Bird #68 in 2022.."
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
