FOXES have attacked much loved ducks in a Middlewich garden.

Amazingly, one of the Indian Runner ducks, Hei Hei, managed to find her way back home.

Owner Beki Fillettti posted on social media: "Unfortunately we had a fox attack our very loved ducks We thought the foxes had killed all of them but we have since found one that managed to make it to safety on the river. She found her way home 24 hours later.

"I am doing my best to search the nearby canals and rivers in the hope that others may have survived."

Dog walkers and people out and about on the towpaths and countryside in Middlewich are asked to keep their eye out for any that may be roaming round lost.
