Ducks in the drains

Pete and Sandra of Wroxham were watching a fresh brood of mallard ducklings who were taking their precarious wanderings in their tumultuous watery world. One baby duck with its minute fluffy wings of barely an inch in length became lost, or more likely abandoned by their parents ~ social workers don't come as standard in the animal kingdom. "Pete got his head down the drain", while Sandra and the neighbours were on look out ~ "We only had to dodge one lorry". He/she was named Sparkle by a little girl at the Slice Of The Broads Cafe. The duckling is safe and being reared until old enough to release. Chris
