Radcliffe Observatory Ducks

Mary Wollstonecraft and William Godwin. The Oxford ducks who live under the observatory. Radical and feminist philosophers. Fountain aficionados. (And friends).

Lovely weather for ducks! 🦆

#WheresWaddley?
When quackademic Thomas Waddley wants to muse on the nature of things, the Philosophy and Theology Faculties Library @PTFLOxford at the Radcliffe Humanities Building fits the bill. Perhaps you can tri-ton find him in this video?

The best time of year: When the ducklings outside of @OxUniMaths emerge!

We’re the subject of a subtweet! TWITTER, WE HAVE FINALLY ARRIVED! 🥹

[Oxford Mathematics @OxUniMaths]

When we began @OxUniMaths Twitter we vowed NEVER ever to tweet images of furry animals, especially not ducklings, & especially not ducklings using the specially erected ramp to the fountain outside our building (home to Triton, god of the sea).

So this is a tweet about geometry.

Our resident ducks are looking for a nest🦆.. it's always a mystery where they are until the ducklings appear in a few weeks!

“Hello there”

[Dr Vicky McGuinness @Guinnessisgd4u]

7 years ago, a mummy #duck brought her #ducklings to the #Triton #Fountain at the #Radcliffe #Humanities - it was one of the best times at work. You can see the scaffold board that a lovely colleague put in the water so the ducklings could get in & out @OxQuackademics

[Radcliffe Observatory Ducks @OxQuackademics]

OK, so there was that one time!

[Radcliffe Observatory Ducks @OxQuackademics]

@TheMERL @britishmuseum We aren’t sending our best...

[Radcliffe Observatory Ducks @OxQuackademics]

Our ducks are very well behaved and would never need to be escorted off the premises by five humans.

[Mansfield College, University of Oxford @MansfieldOxford]

Missing someone @OxQuackademics?

It’s taken them a year, but the ducks have finally paid a visit to my home office. 💻🦆
