Feeding the ducks in Highbury Park, Birmingham

Feeding mallard ducks in highbury park, birmingham

Team Quack Snacks recently headed for a weekend stroll around Highbury Park in Birmingham. This part of the city is blessed with several wonderful parks, including Kings Heath Park, Cannon Hill Park, Swanshurst Park, but Highbury Park had particular treat in store for us. As well as some very friendly ducks, there was a magical carpet of flowers growing up through the fallen leaves.

The wonderful ducks of Coniston Water in the Lake District

Team Quack Snacks recently headed north for a weekend of meeting the ducks of the Lake District. There were of course so many wonderful places to see, but being such fans of our feathered quacking friends, we particularly enjoyed a moment with these wonderful ducks on Coniston Water.

Feeding the ducks in winter

Feeding the ducks in winter

We’d like to raise our wooly hats to all those super folk who brave the weather to go and feed the ducks during the winter.

It’s somewhat unfortunate that many more folk prefer the relative warmth of spring and summer to go and feed the ducks, when that is likely to be the time of year when ducks already have the most abundant natural sources of food.

So here’s to all you winter duck feeders, braving the cold, ice, snow and rain – we salute you! And the ducks will likely be very happy to see you!

Feeding the ducks at Trittiford Mill Park, Birmingham

One of our favourite everyday outings is to grab a coffee at the Sarehole Mill community shop and head out along the green corridor of pathways along the River Cole towards Trittiford Mill Park.

Once the site of another of Birmingham’s water mills, the mill pool does at least still exist and is home to a variety of swans, ducks and geese. Thankfully signs have been erected asking people to not feed the ducks with bread – if you’re looking for alternatives, please see what to feed ducks here >

On the return journey, we also heartily recommend trying out the pizzas at Sarehole Mill!
