Now now Howard, on the Fact Or Fiction thread you told me I had got it wrong and the scientists had got it right, no harsh winter this year.
Contrary to belief, bread is of little or no use to any bird even though they woff it down.
If you want to feed the ducks try a bag of wheat or corn, they also love fish pellets that are cheap enough to buy.
