Joel Armstrong catches the first duckling to jump from the nestPhoto: JED CONKLIN
A duck keeps laying her eggs on an office building ledge..."When mother duck starts looking down, I run out of the office and wait for the ducklings to jump. The mother jumps first, quacks at the ducklings above and they follow.
"The tricky part this time was when two jumped at pretty much the same time. Luckily I am ambidextrous and I caught one in one hand and one in the other."
Mr Armstrong, a father-of-two who admits to better than average hand-eye co-ordination, has had practice at duckling-catching, having performed his heroics twice before in 2008 and again last year.
He's not sure if it's the same duck laying eggs each time, admitting: "They all look the same."
To date he has caught 26 ducklings in three years. And no, he hasn't dropped one yet....
