The Bicclescombe Nine

Over the past few months, we’ve been lucky to have two fleets of ducklings hatch in Bicclescombe Park, Ilfracombe, North Devon. Five from the first twelve have survived the predatory seagulls and four from the second six have also grown to adulthood: a 50% survival rate overall.

I’ve taken hundreds of photos, but not had time to post any, so here is a short video clip . . . watching them has been delightful.
