🦆 Duck Detective Challenge! 🕵️‍♂️
There's a sneaky little duck hiding somewhere in this photo… Can you find it? 👀
Zoom in, squint a little, and let me know when you spot it!
(No cheating — don't give away the spot! Just comment "Found it!" when you do 😄)

🚤✨ Mike makes sure the boats are clean and ready for every arrival — he's on it rain or shine!
🦆 The ducks, however, seem to have other plans... They love to sit on the boats, and sometimes they leave behind a little mess of their own.

We do our best to keep things spotless, but nature always finds a way! 😅 Thanks for your understanding and enjoy the ride!
