The stork visited us...

As you know from previous blogs, we have 4 ducks to care for.  See the previous post over here.  Well, Martha laid eggs and three weeks ago we were blessed with 9  little ducklings.  These beautiful babies have been the topic of discussion and people have been coming daily from the village and the Care Centre to watch them eating , drinking and swimming in their maternity pen near the dam. The photos were all taken on the day of their arrival when staff had to make a makeshift pen as a temporary measure and a more lasting hok was built in great haste.

Here are a few photos of our babies.

The residents love looking at the duckings 


Anna Marks counting the ducklings, which is the first reaction of most people when they see them



Some people had to get a closer look, but Martha chased them right out again :)

Please take your loved ones to go see the little ducklings in their pen at the swimming pool enclosure near the dam...
