Hospital Ducks



Might seem an odd title but these Ducks literally live at the Hospital. I just happened to be there the other day and on the way out I noticed the duck & ducklings. I asked the nurse about it and she said the mother had been coming there for over 10 years to have here ducklings. The Hospital staff looked after them till they were ready to fly away.
The ducks live in this little courtyard which is surrounded on all sides by the Hospital
All mod cons including a little bath for them
 Mother is never far from them
 And they all look content where they are
There is a bakers dozen here.

Sweet photos Bill, Mum must be very comfortable and know where to go to have her babies. She's one smart duck!

Well there you go, not a sight you see every day, but a nice one after going to a hospital.
