Blustery start to the Spring season sees Penny and Duke getting into the mood. 

Penny very much encouraging Duke with head dipping and side preening. 

This months high spring tide always seems to trigger Penny into a broody condition, and is the precursor to mating and nesting. 

Ritual mirroring of each others movements will be a regular occurrence during the coming weeks.

On a sad note, I had to have Limpy the disabled Drake put to sleep yesterday. His quality of life was poor and he was struggling to get around. He survived nearly 2 years and was good company for Disco, I'll miss him.
