YOUNGSTERS in Billingham went quackers yesterday with a celebration of everything to do with ducks.

The day was the latest in a series of events at the Billingham Beck Valley Country Park throughout the summer.

Parents joined in with the children in taking part in a quiz about ducks where every child won a toy duck which was then entered in a race. This was followed by a craft session where the children made duck mobiles.

The park, one of the region's most important wetland nature reserves, wanted to celebrate its special interest in ducks.
