River of Happy Returns.


This week has seen a dramatic return of several mother ducks with their new Ducklings, it is so heart warming and gratifying to see so many, successfully make it safely back to the river. 

Tonight I counted over 40 ducklings which would make this the best ever year ...providing they can keep them alive for the next few weeks ! 

With the tourist season and school holidays in full swing, many people are enjoying seeing the thriving river wildlife. I would ask everyone not to attempt throwing bread at these tiny ducklings, as they will fall prey to the gulls and crows !
 Enjoy some of the photos and short video below of 3 broods along the rivers edge. This is truly a river of Many Happy Returns !
