Climate change once again effects our part of the world with unseasonal conditions, more like Autumn than Summer. The River has been high for some time now and likely to continue for a while yet. I was planning to release the last rescued ducklings this weekend, but High water conditions could result in a disaster for them.
Being released into a new environment will take them a couple of days to get used to it, before integrating with the resident ducks.
They are on the verge of flight, but could easily be washed downstream and fall prey to the Black backed gulls at the river mouth. I will have to wait until the river drops and conditions are more favourable to their survival.
