Will the ducks end up in the Sea?  No, is the quick answer. Our little yellow ducks are used year after year after year, spending the Winter and Spring in training for this wonderful event. They plunge into the River Lim at Higher Mill Flats and paddle madly down stream to be safely scooped up by our wonderful volunteers and a very big net across the river at Jordan Flats.  The ducks are then packed up and have a lovely long Summer break before their training begins again in the Winter.
