WATCH Fish Hoek Locals Rescue Egyptian Geese Duckling from the Sea

On a day in which there didn’t seem to be much to celebrate, a wonderful gentleman in Fish Hoek, South Africa, rescued a duckling from the ocean, to the relief of spectators who broke out in applause.

Facebook group Fish Hoek Beach posted the below video to social media describing the incident that could have had a heartbreaking ending… but which instead ended happily with a little Egyptian Geese family happily reunited.

The family of four had been paddling on the shore when a dog (which perhaps should not have been on this part of the beach) frightened them. In the commotion, the ducklings were separated.

Fish Hoek Beach page says two brave ladies and a gentleman dashed into the sea to rescue one of the ducklings which had gone too far out.

“When everyone thought that the little duckling may have drowned or (been) taken by a seagull, we spotted the gentleman in the sea with his hand held high and we knew immediately that he had rescued our little duckling!!” said the page.

The duckling was wrapped in a jersey until it was close enough to its parents to join them.

“Little duckling struggled on the beach but fortunately we managed to get the family into the sunshine on the grass. Thanks to everyone that helped!! ?” said Fish Hoek Beach.
