DUCKS DELUXE

Or, put more simply, DUCKS DELUXE

An Anglo-Swiss owner of a home overlooking a golf course on the Costa Brava has uncovered compelling evidence that ducks – like humans – enjoy new and shiny experiences.

Indeed, after a dramatic overnight storm, this keen observer – who requested anonymity “out of modesty” – noticed a surprising mass exodus from the golf course pond visible from her balcony.

Dozens of ducks abandoned their resident watering hole and raced - yes, they actually raced! - towards these fresh, glistening puddles left behind by the rain, where they splashed and quacked with what our observer described as “delighted abandon”.

Limited evidence is available to support these allegations, as the homeowner neglected to take photographs of said racing, quacking and splashing, claiming she’d been “far too amused to think of her phone”. Further questioning revealed that “golf-course maintenance personnel wearing Welly boots soon descended in droves, behaving like the most beastly duck party-poopers”. She reported observing said insensitive personnel stamping out waterfowl celebrations by stomping in circles, churning the fresh rainwater into oblivion.

“It was like that famous episode of I Love Lucy, but with less wine and far more emotional devastation,” our witness lamented, providing us with a selection of lacklustre photographs, and a Haiku of questionable quality.

Consumerism

also affects Spanish ducks.

But in a good way!
