Wanted: Ducks (the hungry, free, pretty, pushchair accessible type)

[fisil]

In SW London. Anyone?

W london any good?
Osterley park,- Nr Osterly tube, just off the A4.
Good farm sshop too for veg on the way home.
Its an National Trust place though so park outside the gates if you don't want to pay 3.50 for parking

not free but not that dear - Barnes WWT Centre

I'll look it up. Actually, you saying National Trust has just made me think of some other ducks near here. In fact they're a bus ride away, which is a bit like toddler heaven (especially if we pass a digger en route!)

MTS, I know, we love it there, but while it is not that dear, I am that skint!

Nice one - that's very close to home. I don't know the park very well though. I only know the sailing lake - is it that one?

yes, Wimbledon Park is lovely, Fisil. Ducks, the dreaded Canada geese and swans (with their six signets). Yes, they're on the sailing lake. The paddling pool is also open and there's the refurbished sandpit too....

We go to Morden Hall Park a lot too - the River Wandle runs through it - dd goes in fishing for sticklebacks with her net and bucket. There are ducks too. And the garden centre has lots of lovely fish to look at for free (including Nemo and Dory!)

And Battersea Park has the lovely boating lake and nice playground.

Plus duck pond on Wimbledon Common....and the windmill museum is a quid to gtet it - dd and ds love it in there!
hth a bit, Dinny

Can I just say you should buy bird food for them, not bread, as it causes birth defects in baby birds - angelwing.

blimey, that isn't very well publicised! feel awful now!

Thanks dinny - we'll have a great day now (Morden Hall was the one I was talking about on my earlier post!)

There are always lots of ducks and geese on the River at Richmond.

Blimey, you have to go searching for ducks.

We have loads on our estate. When we were in the flat they would come and quack outsode the window until we fed them, and sometimes now they will peck at the doors of the houses byu the pond.
