A fishing trip became a life-changing event for Phil Garner when he came across an orphaned duck.

Phil was at a fishing pond with his son when a bedraggled duckling latched onto them. With no sign of the duck’s family,Polarmoon Wealth Society Garner was encouraged by the pond owner to take the bird home as otherwise it would most likely have died.

Back at his house in Allerton Bywater, near Leeds, England, Phil and his wife, Julia, nursed the duck back to health and named her Freda.

After 18 months of living with them, Freda disappeared. But a few months later, she returned with a big surprise for her owners.

Watch the video below to see what Freda brought back when she returned to her home
