The Latest tally on the duck numbers that I can ascertain is 64 killed and 20 survivors to date. These figures could still change because half the surviving ducklings will still be at risk for another couple of weeks yet. One of the beautiful white ducks is missing and I fear the worst ! All three were together on Sunday in the factors pool, by Monday morning only two could be seen. With High tides during the night this week, it allows Mink and Otters to traverse all the lower river to hunt at will. Mink hunt mainly by sight, and white ducks can be more easily seen. It would be tragic if the whites were lost before they get a chance to learn all the skills to survive !
