Yes Niggit. They all have their own characters don't they but are all special in their own way. We always knew we would miss her after 15 years of being such a big part of our lives but the reality is even harder than we imagined. Nearly five months since we lost her and it our lives still seem much emptier without her.

Sounds like that could well be the case Tim. They don't venture very far from the nest site if they are young as you point out.

I don't know about you but I think Shovelers (Anas clypeata) are brilliant characters.
