This is Daffy the rescued wild mallard duckling found in a paddock with no mother or siblings in sight 33 days ago. I think he was only a day old, he arrived with splayed legs and what I think was an air sack rupture. He blew up like a balloon that first night and after doing extensive research...

Would love him to stay, but if he leaves it will be his/her choice, it will break out hearts though. He was only approx a day old when he was brought to me, a neighbour found him wondering around in the paddock with their donkey Marvin... So he/she is now very tame and just loves cuddles...

Thank you, it is wonderful to find a site to enjoy other photos and share ours... Daffy does not think he is a duck... he keeps us on our toes... Spring photo shoot with Daffy the rescued duckling...
