Adopt a Duck

Of the 22 ducks residing in the UK, there are a few common species you are more likely to spot. These include the mallard, tufted duck, mandarin, teal and wigeon.

Many duck species are sadly in decline, including the mallard which declined by 34% over 25 years. Other ducks such as the eiders, tufted ducks, goldeneyes, scaups, pochards, pintails and gooseanders also face decline. This is due to milder winters, predation and habitat loss.

How your adoption will help

Throughout the world, people live side-by-side with ducks, sharing the wetland areas ducks have occupied.

Ducks are vital to our ecosystem, they control pest populations, spread plant seeds and cycle nutrients. Learning and understanding them as a species not only aids our general understanding of the world we live in, but it also helps to drive conservation efforts to prevent biodiversity loss and further protect our planet.

Your adoption will help us continue to look after the countless ducks that come through our doors, each year.
