Eleanor really liked her duck, but one day it mysteriously disappeared...
When Eleanor Burke visited France, her daughter Miranda entered a competition. A crate of ducks was emptied off the end of a pier into the sea. The children were invited to jump in and if they caught a duck, they could keep it.

The duck was a much-loved family pet and stayed with the family for two years.
Listen to Eleanor talk about the strange circumstances of the duck's disappearance...
