Pictured here is Fern Daley, Animal Keeper, in the midst of relocating juvenile ducks this morning. The youngsters are being moved from their nursey enclosure to the lake at the top of the Park next to Pelican Bay (there are new ducklings ready to take their place in the nursery enclosures). The juveniles in this image will now have a taste of the wider world, yet still in a safe environment. They'll be able to enjoy the company of adult ducks and other species of waterfowl whilst being hand fed by visitors. Here they'll mature safe from potential predators. In due course they'll gain confidence, spread their wings, and be able to come and go as they please - our new generation of Seaview Wildlife Mallards!
