After a couple of days in my duckling contraption, the mum escaped!....I lifted the lid to check she was ok and she flapped out and took a bath in the pond, I just couldn't catch her, so after me and Pete spent hours wading through the smelly pond trying to reunited the mums and babies we gave up and gave in to the ducklings tweeting fro their mum. We let them swim to their mum and they were happy...Not sure how long it will last but we haven't weeded the pond area so that at least they have as much cover as possible, the mum is a great mum, although the ducklings do spread far, at other ends of the pond sometimes,but if something comes near they regroup in a tight bunch and swim as fast as possible to cover. They are the cutest things, I just hope that they will survive, we'll see.....Isn't nature difficult to deal with sometime!!!
