Why should you join?

A sea of 175,00 blue ducks took to the water on Sunday (31st Aug) near

Setting a new Guiness World record the ducks raced the 1km to the finishing line, raising hundreds of thousands of pounds for UK charities.

    This is a great way to support this conservation group. It's easy, its cheap, and it's going to be so much fun!

    I'll be there to capture the action for Greenvoice, so keep an eye out for me guys, and maybe your duck will be a star!

    The annual Great British Duck Race is going to be held on Sunday 31st August near Hampton Court Bridge at 12.30.

    Why not go down and follow the ducks as they leisuring drift down the Thames, the finish is at Sherriff Boat Club at Albany Reach 1 km away. The RSPB will have a stand at the finish so why not come and say hello?

    Can't make the race? Then sponsor a duck and donate your funds direct to the RSPB. Log onto the website below and find us in the charity listing - its really simple and easy to donate and takes just minutes.

    We have checked out the safety of the ducks with the duck race organisers and have been assured that stray ducks are given zero tolerance - all ducks will be gathered up and recycled for next year's event.

    Hope to see you there - even better if you make a donation!
