Okay, so on Easter Sunday, whilst my two elder daughters were cycling ahead, my youngest & I came across a worried mother duck & 10 ducklings On closer inspection, I realised something was wrong & she was agitated. One poor duckling had fallen down a roadside drain.(Thread)

I made my way across the road as the mother seemed agitated and as if she was trying to tell us something. As I got closer, she stopped. Here’s what happened...

After realising there was a poor duckling stuck down the drain and rescuing it, we sent all 11 on their way with their content mother. But wait... something else was down there!

Here’s the 12th duckling! We nearly missed him. The mother duck had made off into the field so I asked my youngest (4) to wait on the path by the road and she was fab. I scaled the fence and managed to find them all, just in time. He was muddy but at least he was safe.

One happy family with all 12 accounted for. Well, I think it’s 12!? Colette (youngest daughter) was made up. Eldest two (8 and 11) returned and couldn’t believe they’d missed it.

Off they go. Thought I’d share.

Right place, right time.

That road is usually quite busy at that time so very lucky. Must have fallen down whilst crossing the road.

Made my day! Hope you enjoy. #staysafe
