duck catching

is a fun pastime when there is snow on the hills and the river is in flood. but it's even better when you scam a helicopter ride to save 3 hours of walking in the rain. went in yesterday and caught a pair with 2 ducklings. banded those and then walked out from castle today, catching another pair with 3 ducklings on the way out. not a bad way to spend a couple of days. ended up coming out a day early which means i dont' have to work an 11 day week - yay!!
