Ben was full of the joys of spring and recently took a trip to Etherow Park to feed the ducks! Ben has autism and ADHD, so he has a tendency to rush off, but Ben loved spending time at the pond.
Ben had an information leaflet from the visitors centre that helped him to identify which birds were which, and he enjoyed spotting some that he recognised. Ben had also brought seed to feed to them, he was very pleasantly surprised and laughed when the geese and ducks flocked to him for a lunchtime snack!
