Duck Life in Sunny Shrewsbury

Team Quack Snacks are big fans of Shrewsbury and can often be found making a beeline for a sumptuous breakfast in Peaberry’s or a bag of pic n mix from Mollie’s!

Last weekend we were treated to a glorious sunny Bank Holiday Saturday, so enjoyed a long stroll along the River Severn. Well, we say stroll, there was a fair amount of sitting in the park watching the world and ducks go by – bliss!

Feeding the ducks on the River Severn in Bridgnorth, Shropshire

Team Quack Snacks parked up in Bridgnorth’s Low Town and enjoyed a lovely walk beside the River Severn in Severn Park.

Sadly, there were also people dumping carrier bags full of bread for crowds of ducks and geese by the road bridge on the Low Town side of the river. On the other side, an ice cream shop were offering broken ice cream cones as duck food. Sugary broken cones can’t really be considered as healthy duck food – in fact, you’d be paying to throw the shop’s rubbish into the river!

Please don’t throw bread or rubbish in the river for ducks – and instead consider some of these alternatives.

Feeding the ducks on the River Severn in Worcester

Team Quack Snacks enjoyed an amble around the shops in Worcester, before heading to the walkway along the River Severn.

Sadly, those who insist on throwing whole loaves of bread at our feathered friends were out and about too – the spot by the Copenhagen St Car Park became a bun fight of bread feeders and swans. There are signs stating that fishing isn’t allowed to protect the swans….but we didn’t see anything warning about the bread problem.

We walked further along the river to a spot by the Diglis House Hotel, where a couple of swans were soon joined by half a dozen others…..and then some mallards! A little left and right scattering of Quack Snacks saw the two groups happily snack apart.
