Hundreds of ducks from around the world are in full training for this year’s eagerly awaited RNLI International Duck Race, set to take place on April 25th during the West Waterford Festival of Food.
“We’re hearing reports of fierce competition for the top spot,” said race organizer Kevin O’Morchoe.
