ENFIELD welcomed some new borns to the New River a few days ago when a mother duck hatched ten ducklings. The ducklings, which are swimming happily with their parents on the river, should ideally have been born in April but the unseasonably warm weather has resulted in a late delivery. Barry Smitherman of Enfield Wildlife Rescue Centre said: "We will be keeping an eye on them but this is not unusual. We have had ducks hatch in November as the weather has been warm enough to have a late brood."
