For a few weeks now mother duck had been sitting on her nest tucked away in a small patch of garden in corporate courtyard.

She has patiently sat there during busy lunch times, quiet outdoor meetings as well as some boisterous Friday afternoon socialising.

This morning to our delight we were greeted by her showing off her new family, parading them around the courtyard and over the decking.

Unfortunately they won’t be able to stay as the courtyard is landlocked from the outside world and the only way out for non flying ducklings is through reception.

Just another eventful working day!
