A Manx teenager found this lucky duck washed up off Langness beach.

Charlotte Moran, 16, was on a walk with her parents Andy and Claire, and her dog Flash, a whippet, when she made the discovery.

She said: ’I walked onto one of the small beaches in Langness and I saw something yellow in a rocky area.

’I picked it up [and saw it was] a rubber duck.

’On the front it says "World Record Duck Race Ireland 2006", and then there’s a website link for children’s lifeline.’

The duck has clearly made quite the journey.

On Saturday, June 3, 2006, the Children’s Lifeline Challenge (CLC) group organised a world record attempt duck race down the River Liffey .

The River Liffey flows right through the centre of Dublin, Ireland.

The Children’s Lifeline Challenge (CLC) group was a partnership of 10 friends, established with the purpose of ’highlighting the undeniable importance of Our Lady’s Hospital for Sick Children, Crumlin to Irish society while seeking to raise funds for the hospital’s continued development’.

The duck race was sponsored by Today FM and saw 150,000 yellow plastic ducks launched into the Liffey at Millenium bridge to travel down one kilometre of water and under five bridges.

The lucky owner of the winning duck won a trip to the United States.

Most of the ducks were netted at the end of the race, but some escaped into the Irish Sea, and have washed up in various places around the UK and Ireland.

Many have been found along Scotland’s Solway Coast.

One was found in 2016, by Nick Westell in Morecambe on St Patrick’s Day, and one was even found in Sweden.

Charlotte has kept her find, and says she will likely be keeping an eye out for more escapee ducks on future walks.
