Waking up to hard frost outside I think the ducklings were saved in the nick of time, I'm glad I took decisive action to save them yesterday. This morning they enjoyed a salad breakfast by way of soft lettuce and a dip in the sink.( short video below). Meanwhile I posted a life size pic of their Mum inside their brooder, they have settled nicely and cuddled up to the pic of their Mum ! I saw their mum today, she has rejoined her mate and seems none the worse for her loss. It's good to see all the ducks safely on the lower river, this being the shooting season they can legally be shot, even Mothers with late young, how cruel and inhumane is that !
WE ARE CUSTODIANS OF THE PLANET AND HAVE A DUTY TO CARE FOR IT. For the past 18 years I've had the privilege of watching and caring for the resident Swans on our local river estuary. I have been charmed and fascinated by their parental skills and beauty in the water, they are Simply Superb Swans. Annual Membership to the River Nairn Swans and Waterfowl Trust is £20 for a family, can be paid securely through the PayPal Donate button below. Thank you.
