At Monymusk, in Aberdeen- shire, the home of Sir Francis Grant, numbers of wild ducks used to take sanctuary on a pond adjoin- ing the stables. The place was described by a writer as ' a large duck-pond adjoining the stable square ; the ducks are not tame wild ducks, but bond-fide wild ducks, wild wherever else they go, but tame the moment they settle on the pond. They swim up to be fed within a few feet of anyone, evincing no fear. Outside the precincts of their pond they are as wild as the wi...ldest duck can possibly be/ Sir Francis Grant, in answer to a question addressed to him by Sir R. Payne-Gallwey, wrote of this wonderful c duckery ' ' Every word in the account is perfectly true ; a gentleman is staying with me to-day who never saw the ducks in the stable square before. He saw about one hundred and fifty, and the coachman called them and fed them with oats. Last Sunday I fed them, and they came within the length of my walking-stick/ The park at Walton Hall, which Charles Waterton inclosed and protected, only covered two hundred and sixty acres ; the lake was large in pro- portion to the size of the park, containing twenty- four acres of water.
