A stowaway gadwell duck arrived in New Westminster tired and hungry after a 4,500 kilometres journey across Canada.
The duck was inadvertently locked in a truck trailer for eight to 10 days. The driver was headed from Crabtree, Quebec, to Krueger mill in New Westminster.
How the duck got on the truck is a bit of a mystery, as the trailer was locked for most of the journey.
The Wildlife Rescue Association took the duck into care, put it on a heating pad and gave it food. It’s expected to make a full recovery.
