Saffron and Ebony, our 2 rare rescued ducklings are thriving in the care of the Trust, with Disco as guardian.
Saffron is radiant turning whiter every day, and taking a photo difficult with the light exposure. Today she showed the first signs of her gender, and she is Female, I think Ebony is also female, which means we have 3 females in care !
Disco is our permanent resident with a broken wing, Saffron and Ebony's future yet to be decided ! I think they are both hybrid throwbacks, a cross between a Mallard and a Khaki Campbell - Saffron being a white Campbell.
They appear every few years, but sadly are taken by predators before they ever get a chance to survive, they are such beautiful ducks too. These pair will be given every chance to grow and survive. Short video below.
