Motorists in the Chinese city of Taizhou were driven 'quackers' when a local farmer walked 5,000 ducks along a main road for the second time in as many weeks.

Hong Minghsu takes his ducks for a walk a few times a year, but he has marched them twice recently after he and his flocks became an internet sensation.

Hong, 70, claims there are practical reasons for walking the ducks.

"The ducks will eat enough and won't feel hungry after I walk them. This is to save feed. Also the duck eggs and duck meat will taste better if I raise them in a wild way," he said.

Hong says he always manages to keep his ducks in a row and has hardly ever lost any during these excursions.
