Man Rescues Ducklings From Pool After They Misjudge Water Height

A raft of tiny ducklings were rescued from a backyard pool on Queensland’s Gold Coast on September 4.

Michael van de Riet jumped into the water on Monday morning to shepherd the tiny birds to the safety of their mothers’ wing.

Uploader Brooke Darling told Storyful: “We’ve had ducklings in the pool before, but with the lack of rain and lower water levels, mum underestimated the height of the pool rim.” Credit: Facebook/Brooke Darling via Storyful
