First wild mallard ducklings of season hatch at WWT Arundel
The ducklings were noticed by WWT staff during the end of day walk to close the reserve on Thursday evening. The warmer weather this winter has given the ducklings an early birthday this year.
In 2013 the spring was late and cold, delaying many ducklings from hatching until mid- March.
