Goodness, I'm sure these two visitors were a surprise for many!

Imagine, if you will, whilst attending your hospital appointment you came across these two unusual visitors! They would certainly have bought a smile to my face and a definite aww that's sweet moment.

How about you?

"Ducks found waddling round Royal Bournemouth Hospital

The ducks even stuck to the hospital's single file rule along the corridor

Hospital staff found a pair of rather unexpected, feathered intruders waddling around the corridors.

The quacking pair were discovered exploring Royal Bournemouth Hospital where they made a visit to the hospital's thoracic team.

The hospital said the inquisitive ducks tried to "wing" reading directions to find their way out of the building but needed a little help.

They were ushered out and led safely back to a lake in the grounds.

The pair were ushered out after popping in to visit the hospital's thoracic team

The hospital said: "We are very lucky to have a gorgeous lake that is a great solace for patients, visitors and staff.

"Part of its attraction is our resident wildlife, including many beautiful and inquisitive ducks.... Sometimes they can be a little too inquisitive.

"Fortunately one of our incredible porters - who are always on hand for any event - was able to escort them from the premises.""

  3. Oh, such a cute couple!!!
    I once read a "scientific" book, "If the Lion could Think".
    The stupid author really assumed animals cannot think.
    What are we but also in the same family?
    Those two even stuck to the rules on their little adventure :-)
