Off to the RSPCA tomorrow with a ducking/goosling chick. ITs the sole survivor of a road tragedy that took all its siblings. My mother's own car nearly hit the last one, but she dodgey it at the last second.

I had to climb farm land in sandals to grab it, even loosing one. Lucky though it can run faster then me, not across newly ploughed farmland. I managed to grab it. Sadly, as I said the rest of the family wasn't so lucky, there was 3 dead babies in front of us and one behind us. We stopped 100 yards up the road and it took some finding to locate it, there were no other birds including the mother.

Well, better 1 survivor then 0.

Normally the RSCPA tells you to leave wildlife where you find it, but in this case, there isn't a choice, if mum was hit her body was taken away for eating, as is often the case around where I live (a lot of people from abroad purposely run over adults regards of if their a mother with chicks for this reason, its why the British locals and foreigners don't get along... In the last week the local popular of Mukjaks, which I hope I spelt right, went from 12 to 1 for this same reason).
