After the tragic demise of Faith, the duck that lost it's bill to an Otter, her offspring were returned to the river today. She had 3 surviving ducklings, I reared alongside 4 motherless ones for the past 7 weeks, it was time to introduce them to the other young ducks on the river.
One of them is a female, so hopefully Faith will live on !
Meanwhile on the way home I discovered yet another injured pigeon wandering out of the Candy cabin on the brae. It appears to be a young one that may have been hit by a car, right wing drooping but not broken.
I will give it some TLC for a few days and see how it goes.

ReplyDeleteMore conjecture or did you see this Joe. Hardly an everyday occurrence so seems more far flung than your usual theories
A shame the poor bird was allowed to suffer for so long
To Anon, I can say it was an Otter with the same degree of certainty, that you are an avid critic and follower of my blog...with probably too much time on your hands.
ReplyDeleteHa Ha Good one joe !!!
ReplyDeleteAm I missing something here Joe, it seems to me that the otter might have been driving the car?
ReplyDeleteYeah good one Joe, ridicule comments you don't like
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid some comments don't deserve a response at all. If your not happy with the response you can always start your own blog.
ReplyDelete@ Anon 15.33 Without going into detail about certain well known Town individuals and their poisonous resentful gossip, there's not much I can say on your remarks. However the old saying that "you can please some of the people all of the time, all of the people some of the time, but not all of the people all of the time," this has some bearing on my situation. Most people who put the interests of wildlife or animals on a par with humans, come under a great deal of criticism and hostility, I am no exception. I try my best but don't suffer fools gladly, I am dedicated, and sometimes stubborn, but I think I get on with more than I don't. I will try to improve my manner and message, but this won't satisfy everyone.
