As I'm out at the Rugby Club for lunch before tomorrow's game, I took Sarah out for lunch today and then we went and sat in the car down by the River Teign. We were disappointed that there was very little birdlife on show as the tide was quite high, but eventually we noticed a duck, a "manky mallard" (see photo), and he noticed us too. He swam up the small creek where we were parked, climbed up the bank and started pestering us for food. I opened my window to have a chat with him, whereupon he flapped his wings and flew into the car! He sat down in front of the steering wheel for a few seconds, then Sarah opened her door and he walked along the inside of the windscreen before flying out of the door! Sadly we had no food in the car so after unsuccessfully pestering a couple of workmen he flew off down the river looking for other humans who might have a sarnie to spare.

LOL ...I remember when at the West Mids Safari park, a long time ago, a camel tried to get into my car, followed by an antelope, then an elephant, must remember to close the window, even when feeding the wild life.
Do they still sell boxes of animal feed.

Do they still sell boxes of animal feed. Yes they do. Friend at work went and the zebra ate the food and the diamond from her engagement ring! She told her insurance company it must have fell out whilst she was washing up and didn’t realise 😂😂😂

The boxes of animal food used to bear a warning not to feed monkeys or risk being bitten.
For years I thought the stuff was actually called Monkeys Bite. 🙄
