Big rescue for muma duck and her babies this morning.
She only went and hatched her babies 10 metres up in the old oak tree!!!
Clever girl.
Sadly, the first one to jump and brave the huge drop got eaten by a magpie.
So team hallingbury maternity crew jumped in with a ladder to help.
With help of Tim & Robert we saved all 16 🙀🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣
Well done Simon John Hardwick
