Flying duck caught on speed camera could be repeat offender

    A duck has been caught on a radar image breaking the speed limit in central Switzerland - and it could be a repeat offender.

    Police said the mallard had been clocked in the town of Koniz, near Bern, reaching 52km/h (32mph) in a zone with a limit of 30km/h (18.6mph).

    Officers said they came across the speeding duck while assessing images from 13 April.

    An image of a duck caught on the same date reaching the same speed in the same place in 2018 was released by police.

    Officers believe the similar-looking duck could be the same one as last month's culprit.

    Speed cameras are checked every year and captured images are sealed, according to the authorities.

    Police considered whether the latest radar image might be a fake, but hoped the public would be able to enjoy the "curious coincidences" of the two incidents.
