By Daily Mail Reporter

Daisy the Duck has returned to The City Arms pub in Cardiff to lay her eggs for the fifth year running in a window box. Pub staff give her water in plastic containers, left, and feed her bread


A duck has become a real regular in her local pub by laying her eggs in its window box for the fifth year in a row.

'Daisy' has returned again to the busy City Arms in Cardiff to nest in her favourite spot above the pub's entrance, where she closely guards her precious eggs.

Her cherished home is right in the shadow of the Millennium Stadium and surrounded by late-night drinkers and sports fans.

But tough-beaked Daisy and her eggs are protected and cared for by the pub staff and regulars.

Landlord Martyn Mears said: 'This is the fifth year running Daisy has come back to us. Maybe she's heard about the beer.'

Mr Mears, 59, said: 'Once the eggs hatch I take all the little ducklings down to the park and put them in the river.

'I walk nice and slowly and Daisy follows me all the way!
'She lives just above the door and doesn't seem to mind the noise, every day I give her water and feed her bread.

'All of the regulars love her, especially the little old ladies, they're always asking after Daisy.'
