Our summer holiday opened up new territory for spotting Dutch Cultural Ducks.
Only a couple of hours after we rolled of the ferry we spotted this Duck with a Pearl Earring at the Mauritshuis in the Hague.
In Amsterdam we hit pay dirt with a whole row of Dutch Cultural Ducks.
On our way back to the ferry we stopped in Delft and were rewarded with this beautiful Delft Duck.

What a fun thing to watch out for
One more reason to check out the museum shop!
I LOVE ducks. I need to start collecting them properly I think. #mysundayphoto
More fun than stamps!
I’ve never heard of this before; it’s so quirky and unusual but I love the idea of individualising ducks!

I started to notice them earlier this year, they make me smile!
These are fab! We also acquired some rubber ducks during our summer holiday, which the kids chased along the open gutters/streams in Freiburg’s old city centre.
Sounds brilliant, I would love to do that
I’d love to meet someone who collects them. Do they keep them in the bathroom or a display cabinet? #MySundayPhoto
I like to think that collectors keep them on a shelf with each duck floating in it’s own tiny bath
Duck with a pearl earing. I absolutely love it! Not that I would usually associate the netherlands with ducks. #MySundayPhoto
I’m not sure we saw a single feathered duck on our visit, but then I was only looking for Cultural Ducks
This is amazing and a really great way to get all the family involved too! #mysundayphoto
My husband is a bit bemused by the Cultural Duck spotting but it keeps the rest of us happy!
We have a collection of Christmas rubber ducks! Us clogged do like our ducks. I love the delft one I’ll have to look out for that! #mysundayphoto
Christmas Ducks! Will keep an eye open
How much fun are these, brilliant things to collect and look out for
Thank you for linking up
My Sunday Photo makes me look at things it brightens my week
Oooh, I am a quarter Dutch so I am a sucker for anything like this… Love the Delft one particularly!
Delft one lovely and a lot cheaper than the porcelain!
We went and reviews Overton Rubber Duck Race last week! If you love ducks you’d love this! Great piccys of our rubber friends x #MySundayPhoto
Excelkent will check it out!
Hi Catherine, I do like your form of bird spotting and it doesn’t require hours in a hidey hole. I never see fun looking ducks! I do like the Delft duck, that’s one that’s not afraid to stand out!

I’m not good with binoculars either!
Catherine — I found a Napoleon rubber ducky in the Invalides gift shop in Paris a few weeks ago! Yes, he came home with me and is sitting on the bathroom window shelf with my others. I also got one with an ice cream cone in Amsterdam a year ago. I thought I was the only one who collected rubber duckies!
I didn’t see the Napoleon one, we will have to go back to Invalides!
