I'm not sure if they are migratory, but I'd love them to either stick around or else come back to breed next year. I hear of so many sad stories of young birds and mature too, being killed by cats, dogs and foxes I really wanted to give this one a helping hand. Both my daughter and I checked the drain today but 'Otto' had not fallen in a second time. I'll bet a few ducklings have come to a sad end in there, in past years.Swan Pondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14753221018632333066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7860316977614543136.post-86111168421449049192013-02-04T19:32:22.499+11:002013-02-04T19:32:22.499+11:00What an adventure!

The chick darted off with great agility so it was not slowed down by any oil.<br />Swan Pondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14753221018632333066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7860316977614543136.post-31745778335002351642013-02-03T20:08:25.271+11:002013-02-03T20:08:25.271+11:00I would think a wipe with an absorbent Nappy would...I would think a wipe with an absorbent Nappy would do wonders for the chick.<br />Head and body seem clean, and legs OK.<br />I would give you a 9/10 for rescue well performed.<br />DenisDenis Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031115992910569116noreply@blogger.com
