Remember how we sponsored a duck at a nearby animal sanctuary? Yesterday, for the first time, we went to visit her!

Patito is a mallard, and she’s tiny. She lives in a lovely enclosure with her friend Pip and two other ducks. Here’s Patito and Pip:

Look how mini she is! We were taken to see her by one of the volunteers who told us how feisty and noisy Patito was. She didn’t disappoint, quacking endlessly as we held and patted her:

Here she is undoing KLS’s shoelaces with her beak:

It was great to finally meet ‘our’ little duck, and we feel even better about the work being done by the sanctuary. It’s good to know little Patito is healthy and happy and in good hands 🙂
