Too bad - pretty ducks:
They have taken to each other like...well, like ducks to water. Which is all very disappointing for those in charge of the breeding program.
Because this pair of birds represents two-thirds of the entire population of blue ducks remaining in the UK. And they both happen to be male.
Flying in the face of what was billed as the last chance of keeping the species in this country, the two male ducks have completely ignored their female companion, Cherry.
Instead the boys of a feather have flocked together, and even engaged in courting rituals normally observed between mating pairs.
