Miss Campbell has visitors!

Last week Miss Campbell had a lovely surprise when she spotted a few visitors in her garden (socially distanced of course).

A mummy duck and her 10 ducklings found themselves in Miss Campbell's garden. It appeared they may have come from the pond at Mill Farm. At first Miss Campbell was a little bit worried that they may be lost, or that the neighbour's cat might get them. After a phone call to Freshfield Wildlife Trust, the lady said they may have been looking for a safe space away from any danger near the pond. Can you guess what ducks eat? The lady said that they really like seeds, wet bread and weetabix! Who knew ducks liked weetabix?

They stayed for a little while so Miss Campbell decided to put out some water for them to splash in and some seeds for them to eat.

 After a little splash and with a full tummy they waddled all the way back to the pond. Miss Campbell followed them just to make sure they made it back safely.
