A kind woman adopted a lost duckling which turned up on her front doorstep in a rainstorm and now it barely leaves her side.

Jessica Clewes, 24, hand-reared Denzel the duck after her dad Michael Clewes, 70, opened his front door, in northwest England, when he heard chirping outside.

She nursed the tiny shivering bird back to health, warming him up under a heat lamp and feeding him worms.

But when he was big enough to fly the nest, pampered Denzel didn't want to leave, so she built him a duck pond and outdoor house, but he prefers to be indoors.
