Love a duck! Ben and Jerry are quackers for each other

AN UNLIKELY pair of blue ducks have fallen in love at Arundel Wetland Centre this year.

Ben and Jerry, two male blue ducks, have never been happier since they were united in their purpose built aviary.

The pair follow each other everywhere and put on elaborate mating displays to reaffirm their commitment, completely ignoring Cherry, the female blue duck in the same enclosure.

Arundel warden Paul Stevens said: "We initially tried to pair Jerry and Cherry, and we kept Ben in a separate enclosure, when they first arrived, but Jerry wasn't interested and both of them seemed quiet and reserved.

"When we reunited them, they became completely different ducks."
