Not a video that would interest most.

I get Mallard ducks in my yard every Winter and Spring. Usually they don;t stay long. This Spring a Mallard hen
decided it was a good place to make a nest. They hatched--eleven of them. Quite fun, but messy. I have to clean the pond filter
once a day as opposed to once a week. No algae as they eat it all, and no spiders or other insects either. Dogs aren't interested.

We've had great fun with them in spite of having to hose down the deck.

 
That's pretty neat. Are Mallards common in your neck of the woods?

Yes, but I live next to two giant Wildlife refuges. Lots of water fowl and game birds, plus eagles and other hawks.. Canada Geese are almost a pest
in parks and golf courses. Same for seagulls.
