Five weeks after being run over by a car while trying to cross King street, the Mother duck and her 3 remaining ducklings were finally released into the river.
Her broken wing has calloused over but she will be unable to fly. This is a severe handicap at present, because the Drakes are still chasing the females and she will be unable to escape their advances.
She is likely to be hiding out and keeping a low profile for a wee while yet.
However the ducklings have had a good start and are already showing an interest in joining some other youngsters.
