WEST YORKSHIRE, ENGLAND - In April 2021 Phil Garner, 67, found a
duckling wandering alone close to his home, when he couldn't locate its
mother, he brought it home to wife Julia, 66, and named it Freda. After
living in the couple's home, Freda flew the coop in October 2022, but
this spring she strolled up the Garners' driveway -- with 11 ducklings
behind her! The crew is now cozy in [a small fiberglass pond] in the
Garners' garden, which is "chaos," Phil says. "But I'm not bothered."

Cool story, although it beats me how the date on it is a week from today ;)

Okay.... still a nice little story about the duck and ducklings. :)
