A family of ducks waddled in the middle of the street through the old town of Würzburg.
That called the fire brigade onto the scene – they escorted the animals.
Würzburg – It is certainly not an everyday sight that some pedestrians and drivers saw in the large Franconian city on the Main on Sunday (May 15).
A duck mother and her entourage left the city and went into nature in single file or duck march.
