I found a mother duck and ducklings in danger once and I did the right thing and phoned the RSCPA. Mum has been nesting near a carpark and went for a wander around the car park, she walked over a drain and one duckling fell down, she heard the distressed call of her baby, so she looked for it and walked over the grate again and more babies fell down. There was me, lying on the floor of the car park, phoning RSCPA, trying to rescue the ducklings, whilst trying not to upset mum. Mum was not happy and sat in the hedge closest to the drain waiting. The RSPCA were short staffed that day, so it was a bit of a wait, but the mother did not leave, but was obviously warey of people. In the end they all got rescued. The ducklings that fell went in the box first, when mum moved closer to the box we got the other ducklings in next and then mum was willing to go on the box to be with them. It was all done calmly, we even got people to move their cars to help the situation. I can't imagine how Marg felt whilst they were running around being loud. The ducks I helped rescue ended up being moved to a lake out of town.
