Nature keeps amazing me. Never saw this before in my life. Sadly, this little fellow came out with the rest in the latest pond clearing.

Nice photo DAL , when I was a young fellow , about a half a millennium ago , we used to cast net for prawns and get these guys in the by-catch

I and my fishing counterparts referred to them as " Boney Bream "

Maybe our Aussie guru Ron19 can help out on the name , Great shot

Now go and clean your hands .

Great size pond IsaanAussie ,very good price you did very well , are you going to raise fish in there ?

[IsaanAussie]

Fish and maybe even crayfish! Definitely will be used for dry season watering of a small veggie plot.

I never thought of getting the wife to dig the pond. Silly me, think of all the money I could have saved..... AND we have a few shovels already

[Ron19]

More storm damage to bananas last night all of them established plants not recently planted.

Nine lost in this patch.

Other side

And in another patch at the rear of the block a tree from the neighbors side of the fence fell over the fence and took out another five plants.

These are both Muscovy ducks.......they are not inter breeding, just breeding. You can cross pekin with muscovies to get sterile hybrid mules that the Thai call Phet Bubalee.

Thanks Jotham, missed the red markings on the female!

For those following duck egg production it's up to 30 today, ..... but no little duckies yet One egg was dud almost turning blue hue in shell colour... I chucked it, ....phew what a sink!

I like menthol ciggies DAL can you mix some mint with the tobacco?

Spearmint.... not the awful tasting "Thai mint"
