RosaBurn Ducks,   Isle of Arran 

The RosaBurn Ducks can be found on the bridge over the burn, just before the Heritage Museum on the tarmac footpath to Duchess Court.

(This is the best way to get to Arran aromatics and Arran cheese shop without having to walk on the road.)

NOW ON GOOGLE MAPS :) 

The Ducks are here all year, no matter what the weather. The RosaBurn Ducks mostly originate from rescued and unwanted domesticated ducks, they have made this part of the burn their home. Many of them have been hand reared and released.

Other wildlife that can often be seen from the bridge includes; Herons, Swans, Red squirrels, Moorhens, Geese, Pheasants, Fish, Grebes, Little Grebes, Red breasted mergansers, Finches, Blackbirds, Crows, Seagulls and very occasionally Kingfishers and Otters.

We feed the ducks on a mix of 3 types food, all specific to their needs.

(Duck and goose mix, Layers pellets and a wild bird mix.)

As recommended by the RSPB, we avoid giving the ducks bread as although it is high in carbohydrate it has very little in the way of nutrition value to the ducks.

The area of the RosaBurn that they live is tidal so the scenery and water levels are continually changing.

Visiting Swans, this pair are quite regularly seen on the Rosaburn.
