It sounds a little quackers - but the MSPCA need your help to rescue a duck called Smurf!
The hapless duck on the pond in the Governor’s Hill estate will be feeling a little blue as he has somehow become entangled with a small Smurf toy or keyring which has caught up in his breast feathers.
Caring members of the public alerted the MSPCA at Ard Jerkyll to his plight.
Its officers plan to launch a rescue mission at 4pm on Monday but need the public’s help as there are other ducks around and they only want to catch Smurf.
Margaret Mansfield, MSPCA spokeswoman, said: ‘Come along in your wellies – children under 16 will have to bring an adult - so we can have crowd power to keep the other ducks calm and secure while we save Smurf, take him off to have the toy removed and then we’ll put him back on the pond to swim with his friends.’
