'Oldest duck' Edwina dies aged 22.
A 22-year-old tea drinking mallard, thought to be one of the oldest recorded living ducks, has died.
Edwina was rescued by Ian Knight and Christine Christopher two decades ago after she was almost pecked to death by her family.
The couple, from Ringwood, Hampshire, initially called her Edward but changed her name when she started to lay eggs.
Mr Knight said Edwina, who died on Monday, had been buried in their garden under an ornamental duck as a memorial.

A British hero to the end, Edwina will be missed by many 
Whoa! That duck/mallard is older than me. :O Must've been the tea that kept him alive.
That lovely duck is a year older than me. TIH, Edwina!
Tis a sad day indeed.
We should have a feast in Edwina's honor... I'll do the cooking...

How are you going to cook Edwina? And are you going to serve her with a nice black bean sauce?

The HE- WHO SAID I WAS GOING TO COOK EDWINA?
Mmmmm-MMMMM! Bite Size!
Besides, I wouldn't eat anything with the name Edwina! (Ithankyou)
Wow a 22 year old duck? How old do ducks normally live?
According to some googleing, a mallard can live in the wild to around 12, but usually won't live that long. Domesticated is usually up to 20, with this case being an exception 😀
