SO THEY went with a quack, and a waddle, and a quack.
But the feathers of this family of ducks were soon ruffled when they were spotted outside Winchester Crown Court yesterday.
They were hardly the usual suspects you would expect to encounter at court, but this group of ducklings and their mum were enjoying a leisurely stroll when their jaunt came to an abrupt end in a cardboard box.
Police officers spotted the ducks and were diverted from their normal duties into a rapid rescue mission. You could say it was a case of bobbies on the beak!
