Disco the disabled duck has finally begun to incubate her eggs .....all 16 of them !!!!
Had the chance to inspect the nest when she came off briefly for a wash and bite to eat this morning.
She is quite a Madam and enjoying life to the full, all being well we should see some ducklings in a months time.
She will rear them in as natural a state as possible until they are safe enough to be transferred to the river when about 9 weeks old.
The six she had last season were successfully integrated into the river population at that age.
