Ducks

After witnessing countless "near misses" they wanted to protect the birds from oncoming traffic.

Five stricken ducklings were found in the sheer-sided tank at Southern Water's Brockenhurst Works.

Birds have been stopping over at Highbury's courtyard for the past three years, staff say.

A nest of eight eggs was discovered by chance during work on the Civic Centre in Reading.

People are urged by Didcot Town Council to stop feeding ducks and geese at Ladygrove Lake.

The attacks are believed to have been carried out on the Basingstoke Canal in Ash, Surrey.

James Carter and Stephanie Weeding say the 10 birds will be released when they are older.

Police say the mallard was likely a repeat offender and was caught in the same spot seven years ago.
