Duck escapes nail gun shot through head

"He didn't seem bothered about it at all". Miraculous escape for duck shot through the head with nail gun:

A duck had to undergo emergency surgery after surviving for several days with a 4in nail embedded in its skull.

But it took rescuers three days to capture the creature, who had the nail sticking out from both sides of its head.

Before trying to capture him I watched the duck to see what the situation was and he was just waddling around feeding, swimming and doing everything a duck should be doing with this nail in his head.

'He didn't seem bothered about it at all but in his healthy state it meant he was still very hard to get hold of.

'When we got him to the vets we found it had missed all the vital organs including his brain. We were able to get it out in about 15 minutes.'
