The name originated from the discovery of two individuals at Coldharbour Lane in Camberwell in 1748.It's near the London Docks and the two were probably stowaways from mainland Europe!Tony Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01516463619239374331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29934747.post-41594806671521447812008-04-28T00:38:00.000-03:002008-04-28T00:38:00.000-03:00Great post.

Sort of like making a scrap quilt out of your left over pieces...a little bit of this, a little bit of that :-) I didn't realize any duck nested in a tree! I would love to see them leaving the nest, too. Must be hard to always find a good tree with a nice place to drop down into the water!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02890796903959709429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29934747.post-83101451035551927152008-04-27T13:30:00.000-03:002008-04-27T13:30:00.000-03:00I did not realize that wood ducks nest in trees. ...I did not realize that wood ducks nest in trees.
