The humble duck really can top the bill.
||4 stars: Lord luv a duck. If you're feeling bird-brained about ducks this will surely fit the bill.
||Amazingly, Andrew Perris's images do actually manage to bring out the best in these bread-hungry oddities. There's just something so unnerving about their weird, beady eyes.
