A Real-Life ‘Duck Tales’…Well, Sort Of

Nottingham University Library had an unlikely set of visitors recently. A family of ducks walked past right into the library, completely unfazed by human presence.

As it was quite hot that particular day, the library had left their doors open to let the natural breeze in. These ducks, who were wandering on the nearby streets, noticed the open door and straightway entered the library premises.


However, their library trip was cut short as they were ushered back through the gates gently by a staff member and ultimately to their pond. They retaliated by ignoring the library sign as they waddled out of the library. While we are not exactly sure of what attracted them in the first place, one thing we are sure of is that these ducks must have ruled the university conversation among the students and staff that week in real life and across digital domains.
