There is nothing worse than getting caught up in traffic on the motorway.<\/p>\n

Usually, long queues are caused by accidents or roadworks, but drivers in China recently had to wait because of a herd of ducks.<\/p>\n

Farmer Xu Ling decided to march his birds on a main road in Hunan, as it is the quickest way to get back to his house.<\/p>\n

"I know I shouldn't do it and that the police will fine me if they see me, but I have more than 200 birds and you need a wide road to herd them all along at the same time," Mr Ling stated.<\/p>\n

The man clearly has skills though, as the ducks were tremendously well behaved and stayed in their group for the entire distance.<\/p>\n

Mr Ling observed that if he takes the other route back to his field, he loses too many birds because of the narrow alleyways he's forced to navigate.<\/p>\n
