| Gulls eat ducklings ! |
Today's Spate couldn't have come at a worse time for the new ducklings that turned up two days ago. The 8 ducklings are now down to 3. The spate has forced the swans and ducks onto the small strip of grass along the riverside wall, and people are still not heeding my advice not to throw lumps of bread - especially white bread onto the ducklings. This afternoon I saw pieces of white bread laying beside a mother duck and 4 of her remaining brood, shortly after I saw a gull standing on the river walk above her- drop down and take a duckling in the blink of an eye ! PLEASE STOP dropping large uneatable pieces of dry white bread on top of the poor ducklings, they are too small to eat bread ! It only attracts the gulls and crows !!!
