Environment and Flooding Protection team members surveying a sewer in Bristol got a little more than they bargained for as they operated a robotic camera along an underground pipe near Frenchay.
As the equipment remotely negotiated its way through the sewer that carries rainwater underground, it intercepted a lone duck waddling around inside.
The duck, who was believed to be on the hunt for algae to eat, was spotted offering a quizzical look straight down the lens.
The Wessex Water team made sure their new feathered friend could safely leave the pipe unharmed and continue on its way.
