DUCKIES: The top image is of a pair of tufted ducks taken at Backwell Lake by Cynthia Miller. The other is of a domestic Cayuga duck which has taken up residence at the lake and caused concern about visitors. The RSPCA has come out several times initially to try and catch the bird but he has avoided capture as he is a great swimmer and diver! Lorraine Hopkinson-Parker said: "I had found a home for him but the RSPCA said he appears to have integrated and is pretty wild now, they said it would be more stressful for him to go back to being domesticated as he's doing well at the lake. They are monitoring him."  And another feared: "If the duck is collected, it is likely to be destroyed (due to avian flu). If it's happy, it should just be left, unless owners are local and become aware. He seems quite happy chilling at Backwell Lake. Often come and follows myself and my dog when we walk round."
