It happened again! It seems that my Dad's balcony on Salford Quays is very popular with nesting ducks! Less than three weeks after Mrs Mallard left with her 11 ducklings, a duck took over the nest. We weren't expecting another Operation Mallard for a whole year... leading to a bit of a plot twist for everyone who's been following along for the past few months.

I used three lovely photos of ducks in the video that I sourced from Wikimedia and used in accordance with the license there. I did not make any changes to the photos, and here are the links to the originals with full credits etc:

As mentioned in the video, if you enjoyed this and would like to buy me a cup of tea AND help birds and wildlife, go to https://ko-fi.com/emmanewman and put 'Operation Mallard' in the message if you donate. I am giving 50% of all the donations made with that in the message to the RSPB. They do brilliant work and you can find out more about them here: https://www.rspb.org.uk

If you'd like to find out more about me - I'm actually a science-fiction author and audiobook narrator! - you can visit my website at www.enewman.co.uk and I have a patreon page at   / emmanewman   - thanks!
