Ducks – letter from Tony Reader

Sirs,

I have just read Anna Forbes letter outlining numerous reasons why the duck population in Marlborough has declined.

I think many of the reasons have not changed for many years and I also remember many ducks over 30+ years.

There is I think another more likely reason and that is that in an attempt to control the rats someone has used rat poison which the ducks have eaten.

Yours,

Tony Reader
