After writing the previous entry, I remembered a sad story, this one from last year.
There were two ducks living in the office pond. In the spring they produced lovely ducklings which waddled in a happy line across the grass in front of the lunch room and brought delight to the staff. Then the ducklings started to disappear, one by one until there was only one left. Then there were none.
What was happening to the cute baby ducks? Investigations revealed that a monster eel had picked them off.
That made me sad.
The eel is no longer resident but the ducks have not appeared this year.
