Pretty" might not be used to describe several large, brown and white Muscovy ducks with lumpy red faces that resemble raw hamburger.
Water-fowl, of all descriptions, rose from their coverts, and hurried towards us: the heavy Muscovy ducks, sheldrakes, Burrow ducks from the Severn, sea-gulls, Canada and Cape and tall Peruvian geese, and the little moor-hen and teal, half-sailing, half-flying, with six majestic swans, all drew near to be fed.
A must-try is its pan-roasted muscovy duck with apple-apricot compote and its Caesar salad.
