You may have noticed these cages around the venue over the past few weeks. They are traps for the ducks which have taken up residence. The first stage was to get the ducks used to the traps, the next step is to close the traps to catch the ducks

The traps will be closed tomorrow and we are hoping the ducks will all be caught within a few days. Once caught they will be removed and re-homed.

If you see any ducks in the cages, they are safe and unharmed. Please leave the cages and ducks alone and do not open the cages.

Re-homing these ducks is important to ensure we maintain water quality at the venue and keep the surrounding walkways and areas clean.

If you have any questions or concerns please send us a message.
