A well loved duck race which was postponed at New Year due to low water levels took place last weekend.
On Easter Saturday groups of spectators congregated along Driffield Beck to watch fleets of rubber ducks make their way down stream in the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust duck race.
The race had initially been cancelled from its regular New Year’s Day slot due to the beck being too dry to float the ducks on, a situation which has become a common problem for the trust’s duck races.
Lasting around an hour the race on Saturday saw many ducks, which had previously been sponsored by Driffield residents, float past the Cattle Market car park.
The three ducks in the final were promised the prize of £30, £20 and £10 respectively.
The Yorkshire Wildlife Trust are a charity which works to preserve the nature of the region. It also aims to involve local communities in looking after the wildlife in their environments.
