After 8 weeks sanctuary with the River Nairn Swans and Waterfowl Trust, the nine saved ducklings were successfully returned to the river today.
With the help of friend and trust member George Stephen, we introduced the ducklings to the lower river where they relished in fresh water and freedom !
Within a short time they were already approaching some other resident ducks, and sampling the river bottom. Six are females and three drakes, which is a welcome change from the many predominant males.
Later with Penny leading the way, the Swans decided to avoid walking over the pesky shingle
and had a fly - run to the Merryton bridge for their feed.
