Ducklings Released

After 9 weeks care in the comfort of the Trust , the 6 ducklings hatched by the duck with the broken dislocated wing have been released into the river. The mother would not survive in the wild, so will remain with the Trust for life. She has done a fabulous job rearing them over the past 9 weeks and they can now fly and take care of themselves.

They have been exposed to all kinds of dangers in the open garden for the past few weeks, and know what to do when danger threatens. Short clip below of the fun and antics they have had in recent times. The mother is the one with the wing tip pointing skywards !
