The case of the escaping duck

Here, my friends, is a duck.

And not just any old duck, this is an American Wood Duck, spotted just next to my wildlife garden. He's not native to the area, and has probably escaped from a wildfowl reserve - though it's a fair distance to Pensthorpe...

He was quietly quacking to himself, with a distinct american twang.

He must have heard - we're a wildlife haven!
