your post is always such a vibe! Seeing two ducks up a tree is delightfully unexpected, just like some of the surprises I’ve experienced trekking through the Himalayas in Nepal. From the quiet trails winding past prayer flags to the breathtaking views of snow-capped peaks, every step feels alive and full of wonder. Your photo gives me the same sense of joy and curiosity I feel when discovering hidden villages or peaceful rivers along the Annapurna and Everest trails. Absolutely loving the energy you share!

I’ve never seen ducks in trees before either, how neat. 🙂

  Apparently it’s common and they often nest there!! And I never knew.

Yes, I too hadn’t realised until recently that ducks quite often nest in trees. Whatever next?

    I’ve only seen it once, too! But it is, apparently, a ‘thing’.
