A duckling belonging to one of
the rarest and most endangered species of birds in the world has hatched in
Sussex this weekend. Louis, a baby white-headed duck, was hatched at the
Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust (WWT) centre in Arundel yesterday (April 28) - but
is already being treated as a VIP by the dedicated WWT staff.
After hatching, Louis was sent on
his way to the main trust’s main duckery at WWT Slimbridge Wetland Centre in
Gloucestershire , escorted in style by the WWT Arundel Centre Manager Tim
McGregor. Eventually Louis may return to live at WWT Arundel but he will be
sporting a big blue bill like his dad who lives in the Reed Swamp exhibit at
Arundel Wetland Centre with other ducks from Kazakhstan, Turkey, Iran and
Afghanistan.
