On the weekend we went to the local botanic gardens and fed the ducks. Mr 5 even got the chance to see some turtles close up!
Linking up with My Little Drummer Boys for Wordless Wednesday.

Great captures there! I love ducks – and turtles. What gardens were you at? When I was at Brisbane’s Mt Cootha Botanica Gardens – I saw some turtles pop their heads out of the pond now and then but was not lucky enough to get a photo of one. I got heaps of photo’s of the ducks though 🙂
We live in Rockhampton so we were at our local Botanic Gardens. It has a zoo attached too but it’s been so hot so we decided duck feeding was enough for one day.
Lovely candid photos.
Thank you
Oh the turtle would’ve been quite a cool surprise! I’m not an ibis fan though x
Yeh I am not a fan of Ibis (aka dump birds) either. We kept trying to chase them away but they just kept coming back.
I love feeding the ducks – I haven’t done that with the kids yet but I am sure they would love it.
This was the first time we’ve done it and we will definitely be doing it again!
This reminds me of the lake at Victoria Point near where I live – lots of ducks and turtles there. There are signs everywhere saying we’re not supposed to feed them though 🙁
I’m not sure if we are supposed to feed them, but a lot of people do. They are obviously used to as well, because we got swarmed by all of the birds.
I remember feeding the ducks when I was little and we have movie footage of my bestie getting chased by a gaggle of ducks after her bread. (They freaked me out a little after that!)
We ended up leaving after a few aggressive geese came along. There were hissing and everything. Although I think I was the most scared lol!
Haven’t fed ducks for ages. We have to avoid having the seagulls trying to steal food where we are. Love that turtle with the stuff growing on his shell. What a character 🙂
We have that trouble at the main beach in the next town. No fish and chips for us when we go to the beach.
How special to see the turtle up close and personal! I imagine that Mr5 would have enjoyed hanging out with the animals!
I couldn’t believe how close they came. At one stage there was 3 or 4 of them but I wasn’t quick enough with the camera to capture them. Mr 5 absolutely loved it.
I just went for an afternoon walk and saw ducks and turtles! They make me feel so serene 🙂
Cool! I was feeling pretty serene feeding the ducks…until the damn geese came along.
Looks like so much fun, feeding ducks is always such a calming experience….I like to do it when I need a few moments of “quiet time” – we have ducks right next to where we are parked.
Great Pics 🙂
