住在英國史丹佛郡（Staffordshire）、現年50歲的龐斯‧里斯科（Ponce Risco），日前在住家附近發現遭母鴨拋棄的8顆鴨蛋，因不忍心小生命失去來到這世上的機會，龐斯和太太麗莎（Lisa）買來孵化器幫助鴨蛋孵化，而小鴨子破蛋出生後，更是無微不至的照料牠們。
而這8隻小鴨子或許是一出生就見到龐斯，因此理所當然的將他當做親生父親，龐斯去到哪，牠們就跟到哪，在龐斯身後乖巧的排成一直線，左搖右擺的往前走，形成一幅十分溫馨可愛的畫面。龐斯表示，當初只是想幫忙而已，完全沒料到小鴨子會這麼喜歡他，現在只要一離開，牠們就會開始慌張、製造噪音，令他捨不得走遠。
龐斯相信再過不久，牠們就要起飛了，「雖然有點感傷，但如果重新來過，我還是會做同樣的事情」，也謝謝牠們帶給我這麼多的歡樂。
Mother duck: Spanish guesthouse owner Ponce Risco has found himself raising eight ducklings after they were abandoned as eggs by their mother
Ducker up: Mr Risco keeps the ducklings inside his family home in Longton at night but lets them out into a pen during the day
Troupe: The ducklings are happy when they can see Mr Risco but when he goes out of sight they huddle together and start quacking loudly
Horsing around: The ducklings walk outside Mr Risco's home as a horse rider double takes while trotting past
Nice weather for ducks: Once or twice a day Mr Risco walks to Longton Brickcroft Nature Reserve and the ducklings follow him
Hatchlings: After noticing the mother had abandoned her eggs Mr Risco and his wife decided to take them on and bought an incubator. Here is one duckling just after it hatched
Don't dawdle: Mr Risco said raising the ducklings had been a 'bit of a pain' but that he would do it all over again |
