No News From Duck Quad

Friday afternoon. And no change in the duck numbers this week. We've still got the 3 (2; 1) that we had at the start. But there are no mother ducks now. Even the Runner has been abandoned, although that probably won't be a problem as the Runner's quite big now. However, despite their advanced developmental state, there's no sign of any of the ducks stretching their wings and leaving yet. Same for the gull chicks. The latter will probably get the message when their parents completely stop feeding them. It's probably a little early for the NOCS staff who feed the ducks to stop, definitely for the Runner.
