The 'Duck Palace'

Every year a duck comes and digs up our herb tray and lays her eggs there, we keep some and then let her keep enough until she sits on them for three weeks, this can be pretty inconvenient, as we have to tip toe around for three weeks so that we don't disturb her.
So I decided to construct a Duck Palace using bits of scrap wood.
I left clear panels in the roof over both compartments so that I can see if there's a duck or eggs inside.
Inside one of the guest rooms! I've planted some mint in both compartments, as she always digs up our mint.
I'm pleased to say that I found no need to charge the ratepayers any expenses while making this duckhouse! ;o)

    1. I took pity on her, when she lost her last brood, this time I just left her to lay some more without taking my 'percentage' Her present eleven eggs should hatch out next week.
