The ducks of Bridgewater Road

Since moving to sunny Berkhamsted I’ve now got a very pleasant walk to work, taking in pretty much the entire length of Bridgewater Road. As well as the lovely houses, gardens, trees and birds I keep coming across three ducks that seem to just be lazing around - somtimes in peoples’ front gardens, sometimes by the side of the road. With the canal just a few metres away, the birds must be one or more of (a) stupidly lost, (b) pets or (c) afraid of water. Hopefully they’ll be around for some time to come and don’t waddle out into the road!
