Who knew ducks could be so interesting? Once again thanks Louise Thomas for the picture and words.
"Last summer we had a mallard couple that regularly visited us. They would waddle up the drive way, the female in the lead, and come around the back to the kitchen door to see if we had any rice or other tasty bits. I often wonder what happened to them, and how they negotiated the roads, and wondered how word got around in the first place that we might be the local soup kitchen. I was going to get a paddling pool for them, but they didn't turn up this summer. Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) male at Days Bay duck pond. Bird #68 in 2022.."

If you don't already know, we ( Pōneke Ngeru Rescue ) has been trapping these cats for almost a year, since July 2021

For far, we have taken 22 cats and kittens out of the colony; most have been rehomed, and some are still with us.

We estimate these guys to grow rapidly next summer, and we want to get the colony under control. We need your help!

We need to start documenting how far the colony is spreading; we already know that they've moved over to luxford.

Obviously, at the moment, kittens are our priority. There's easier to tame and rehome, meaning we open up a space faster for another cat.

If you can help us provide food, traps, microchip scanners, and vet bills, I believe we can get this colony on lock by 2023!

These four kittens were born in our care by one of the mums we trapped.
