One of her ducklings hatched, probably climbed on mummy's back and fell out, couldn't get back, was cheeping and being chased by coots etc. I got the landing net out and, after many failed attempts, successfully netted it and popped it back into the nest.
Then the other ducklings started to hatch and leave the nest, two were left behind and needed a helping hand as Glenda shouted at me! LOL!
So finally off she goes with five ducklings, the next day there were three left, the day after, only one, and then none. Nature is cruel!
Once she'd left, I moved the trug onto the butty's bow in case she came back. Glenda tidied it up and replaced the lost compost.
