TheBoatmans Sensitive Side!

[TheBoatman]

I was mooring up one of our club boats behind our mooring barge when I heard feint squeaking coming from it. On investigation I found two 1-day-old Mallard ducklings trap in the bilges. I knew that a duck had nested and hatched 3 youngsters but the gulls had taken them all. So I retrieved them, put them in a box with some freshwater and biscuit and called the RSPCA.
Off to a better life in a bird sanctuary methinks!! Ahhh I feel all warm inside now<s>.

Why do I think that this post will come back to haunt me?

Please let me know where to pick up these ducklings, preferably when they are a bit bigger. The orange sauce is waiting!

That's just selfish. There's a buzzard that lives just down the road from us who is always looking hungry...

Re: bad news from the bird sanctuary

unfortunately, the RSPB had placed the birds where you found them, out of the way of everyone except do-goody boaties. Worse, biscuits are the very worst thing you can give a newborn duck and one of them has died and it's all your fault.
