Duckery & other Organisations

In 1990 we had a duckery built on the same lines as WWT Martin Mere but on a much smaller scale. Using their plans our duckery has 6 bays, each bay has a heat lamp and pond with adjustable water-levels. We found this a great advantage when breeding the divers such as Smew, Bufflehead and Hoodys etc. Duckery

Over the years as members of several organisations including the APWS, IWWA and Avicultural Society we have gained a vast amount of very valuable information on breeding techniques and we are still learning new ideas after 25 years.

Our collection now contains 14 species including, European Eiders, Lesser Scaup, Smew, Buffelhead, Hooded Merganser, Argentine Ruddy Duck, Hottentot Teal and Falcated Teal. New Zealand shovelers, Eyton Tree ducks and African White Backed Duck.

These African white-back ducks were parent raised.
