I WAS with my wife walking around Keighley Tarn last week, when we saw a duck with eight little ones.

We watched them for a while, then there was a kerfuffle in the water as if a fish – possibly a pike – had picked one of them.

We watched and waited – and there were only seven.

A local chap said there were no pike in the tarn.

Maybe some of your readers could explain this?
