With all the focus on our new cygnets, our new seasons ducklings are missing out.
Have no fear they are alive and well under the care of the Trust. The eldest will be released in a couple of weeks, when safe from Crows and gulls.
Meanwhile the incubator brood are thriving and enjoying the run of the place, the two yellow ones are just gorgeous and I will be tempted to keep one for breeding next year. All previous white ones have been killed on the river, and I hate the idea of the these suffering the same fate.
The mother with five in the outhouse is doing well, and her little ones enjoy all mod cons as the short video clip shows.
