Donnie and Disco




With Dark nights and a long Winter ahead, my thoughts turned to how poor Disco our disabled duck was feeling, alone by the garden pool. 



She has been confining herself to the coop all day and only venturing out after dark.  The solution had to be another mate for company over the Winter... 



Enter Donnie the Drake, one handsome Mallard in  the prime of life. Disco quacked with joy on seeing her new friend and companion. 



Hopefully they are well matched and produce some ducklings next season.



More good news on the Water lane Pigeon. It was cooped up in the outside aviary and keen to join it's mates. After 5 weeks care and treatment, it had recovered from a broken wing and Salmonella infection.

It was successfully released yesterday, and joined it's mates around the Town centre.
