A Match Made In, um, hrm...

Staff at the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust in Sussex, UK have been left bemused recently, after failing to breed the rare New Zealand Blue Duck.

Their breeding couple, Jerry and Cherry, had ignored each other for years, so they decided to introduce a second male in the hope that he would take more interest in Cherry than Jerry had.

But onlookers were left scratching their heads when newcomer Ben only had eyes for the other male. Staff say they make a lovely couple, but it's thrown plans for breeding up in the air.

Now Cherry swims sadly by herself as the pair of gay drakes sing to each other and parade around the enclosure.
