Come on, Mrs Mallard!

There is still no sign of our school duck, Mrs Mallard's ducklings hatching out - in fact until they hatch, there is never even any sign of Mrs Mallard! We are checking the courtyard several times daily but as yet, nothing. Mr Mallard has been seen sat on the roof of the music house most days, surveying the site.

Last year, Mrs Mallard was the first duck from Platt Fields to hatch her eggs and she and her 13 babies made the trek to the lake on 30th April. Already this Spring, another duck has beaten her to it and produced 5 ducklings (one of which already seems to have been lost).
