A woman who has been feeding the same Welsh Harlequin duck in a Gerrards Cross pond for 10 years needed the help of four youngsters to rescue it after it became frozen.
Val Isaacs, who lives in West Common, has been feeding the duck living in Latchmore Pond, which she has named Gilbert, for the past 10 years.
Gilbert is unable to fly properly like the other ducks who live in the pond and often becomes stranded there and Mrs Isaacs helps him out by bringing him food.
