Today sees the first rain for many weeks and many will be desperate for more. The past month has been a record breaker, and the river is at a record low level. Duckling numbers have improved of late with another 6 turning up recently. This takes the total surviving to date to 38 with 65 fatalities. The gulls and crows have all but finished feeding their young, and the hot weather also helps the ducklings survival too.
