TWO Turton residents are searching for the owner of a rare Swedish Blue duck.

The duck arrived in Paul and Ruth Haley’s back garden on Saturday September 14.

The pair, who live in Chapeltown Road, believe the bird is a domestic breed.

They are keeping the duck in a pen with their hens but are hoping to get the bird back home soon.

Paul said: “It’s clearly used to people and is quite tame.

“Someone must be missing it and we’d like to find the owner.”

Anyone who has any information about the owner can contact Ruth by emailing ruthhaley@btconnect.com.
