A couple from Hampshire are celebrating the 22nd birthday of their pet duck - thought to be one of the oldest mallards ever recorded.

Edwina was almost pecked to death by her family before Ian Knight and Christine Christopher came to her rescue.

The couple, from Ringwood, initially called her Edward but quickly changed her name once she started laying eggs.
