easter egg

Duck egg on the lawn

 

Today, three ducks flew into the back garden.

One female and two male ducks.

They settled on the lawn in the rain.

Then the female duck laid an egg, a beautiful pale egg, in the middle of the grass.

Just one egg.

Today, being Easter Day.

After while, all the ducks flew away.

Some minutes later, a magpie arrived, and broke into the egg.
