The little river Gascoigne rises near the hamlet of Milborne Wick, wriggles through the ancient "rotten borough" of Milborne Port, and completes its course of around five miles by spilling into the Yeo just before that river spreads out into a handsome ornamental lake below Sherborne Castle. At Milborne Port, a bend in the Gascoigne used to be the home of that notable company of ducks that stopped the traffic twice a day by waddling slowly up the length of South Street to be fed. This spring, the river has been the focus of nature-watch in at least two gardens. In one, on a curve of the river, a single water-rail, normally a highly secretive bird ("much more often heard than seen", the book says, and looking like a moorhen with particularly long legs) openly made its winter home, and fed with the familiar garden birds.
Downstream, in a secluded garden enclosed by fences, where a few years ago a family of hedgehogs was reared in a compost heap, a mating pair of mallards was seen flying in repeatedly this Spring. Then, in June, a visiting black Labrador called Bertie, trained to the gun, wandered into a shady corner under a willow, and created a sudden commotion in a flower-bed. The female of the pair flew up and revealed a clutch of 10 eggs in a nest buried amongst the hardy geraniums and "lady's mantle". She seems to be untroubled by friendly human interest, and leaves the nest briefly morning and evening to fly off - presumably to the water, which is some 30 yards away. The eggs are safe so far, and should hatch before long, but ducklings here are vulnerable to rats, and it is not clear how this brood will get past the barrier of fences to the river. https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2005/jul/05/ruralaffairs |
