Anger as car ploughs into line of baby ducks
Caernarfon and Denbeigh Herald
|May 14, 2025
DISTRAUGHT residents in Gwynedd have called for signage on a busy A-road after a car ploughed into a line of baby ducks.
-
One chick and its mother were killed, leaving the surviving babies to fend for themselves.
Last Tuesday evening’s incident was witnessed by another motorist as he drove along the A499 near Llanbedrog.
He said it was still light, the ducklings were visible and the accident could have been avoided.
“I went back with a box to find the babies,” he said online. “But they had gone. Hopefully they will survive.”
Over the years, local people have become accustomed to seeing duck families crossing the A499 between Carreg y Defaid and Penrhos.
