MADAM, We were visiting Ross on June 24th when we saw a commotion in the town centre and it turned out to be a duck with her ducklings crossing a main road and some ladies trying to get the ducklings in a box. Unfortunately while the ladies were trying to catch the mother the babies escaped and four of them got trapped down the side of a building.

The RSPCA were called but sadly we had to get back to Yorkshire so we couldn't find out the outcome. I emailed the RSPCA but have not been able to obtain any information, I would be grateful if you could shed some light on the situation

many thanks

Alan Reynolds,

Yorkshire

Editors note:?I was delighted to be able to let Alan know that the Ross firefighters had sprung into action and rescued the ducklings and reunited them with the mother duck.
