I am also cross-posting to the LUG because there are some extremely knowledgeable people there, and I need some advice. There are some ducks(?) or geese(?) that have taken up residence nearby. As a result, we often find this in our pool (this one was yesterday afternoon): http://www.greatpix.eu/gallery/4253606_netUM#300929481_88LaB-O-LB Looks cute, except that they shit in the pool, which is a major nuisance. So I let the dog out or scare them off myself. They usually go reluctantly, first up onto the garden wall: http://www.greatpix.eu/gallery/4253606_netUM#300929527_7FoMz-O-LB And then finally they f**k off: http://www.greatpix.eu/gallery/4253606_netUM#300929547_63Tox-O-LB So now I have some questions for the birders here: - what is this species? - is it edible? - is there something we can to scare them off when we are not at home? Is there any particular plant or smell that they hate?
