    Hi All

    I came in this afternoon I thought I could hear ducklings calling , which is not strange to me as a lot of you know I have a river at the bottom of the garden so I opened the gate leading on to the river and Mum mallard quacking and then I realized all the ducklings (5)where trapped in next door garden, I left it a hour as waiting for them to come home then decided I couldnt stand the noise of the ducklings calling and then the mother quacking from the river , plus the Raven had spotted them and I saved them twice from being eaten !!! so I thought I dont care , climbed over the fence put a box in the corner and corralled them in , in they went ist time.

    Came back round to mine realeased the babies on the side of the river bank a couple of quacks from the mother all babies jumped into the river with her

    Spruce can now relax , [​IMG]
