Ducks found waddling round Royal Bournemouth Hospital
- Published
Hospital staff found a pair of rather unexpected, feathered intruders waddling around the corridors.
The quacking pair were discovered exploring Royal Bournemouth Hospital where they made a visit to the hospital's thoracic team.
The hospital said the inquisitive ducks tried to "wing" reading directions to find their way out of the building but needed a little help.
They were ushered out and led safely back to a lake in the grounds.
The hospital said: "We are very lucky to have a gorgeous lake that is a great solace for patients, visitors and staff.
"Part of its attraction is our resident wildlife, including many beautiful and inquisitive ducks.... Sometimes they can be a little too inquisitive.
"Fortunately one of our incredible porters - who are always on hand for any event - was able to escort them from the premises."
