It's been on before. No.1 is the duck because it's the one that introduces children to birdlife. I assume most toddlers feed the ducks at an early age. |

No, I don't think it was her bloke. I wonder if she would want to join me on a new TV programme I am considering Ultimate Water Vole surveying

Sorry if I spoiled it a bit Dan. There's the other nine which I recall are much more interesting. I think ducks were a bit of a let down he might as well have said little fluffy yellow chickens! |

However I guess in a way he is right, they introduce children to wildlife and for many will be the earliest and closest contact with wildlife. |
