DROVE PARK ARRIVALS 2011
The first of the season
By Andy Gilbert
The first arrivals of the Spring were to be seen yesterday, with a clutch of nine ducklings born to one of the two resident pairs of ducks. Hopefully the second pair, and the moorhens, won't be too far behind.
Spring is well and truly sprung, it would seem!
Update: 1/5/11
There are now two clutches of ten ducklings (I must have missed on first time around) and two clutches of four or five moorhen chicks. There is another resident pair of ducks so things could get crowded as they all grow!
I'll keep you posted.
Mother and babies doing well!

Very young ducklings. Fearless, or just way too tame already?
