Regular Viewers will remember the successful rescue and rehab of Doris the mother duck, hit by a vehicle last summer while escorting her 10 ducklings to the river. Spotting her among the 200 ducks on the river is nigh on impossible, except when rally close by.
Apart from the mended broken right leg, She has one small difference on her bill... a blister in the centre top of her bill a couple of centimetres from the tip.
She may have developed this after being hit by the vehicle. Conditions today were perfect to spot her and I managed to get a few shots to confirm her identity.
Was great to see her with many of her surviving ducklings around, she was keeping a close watch on me dishing out the feed! You can see the raised blister in these final photos !
