A parade of ducks halted traffic for an hour after they wandered onto the motorway.

Not the bird in question

Not the bird in question

The group of 30 birds caused delays on the M25 between J19 and J20 near Watford on Wedneday evening (18.07.18), as Highways England blocked the road so the feathery visisters could be guided to safety.

However, not to be deterred the family of ducks showed their determination as they escape back through a broken fence and waddled back onto the motorway another three times.

Thankfully, the animals are all said to be safe, and there were no casualties in the adorable - albeit in convenient - incident.

One pun loving Twitter user responded to the news, writing: ''They must be quackers to do that.''

While another user couldn't resist a groan-inducing quip of their own - and they waited until knowing the story had a happy ending.

They tweeted: ''wow I bet the motorists Are ''spitting feathers'', glad you got all ducks moved safely. (sic)''
