A nurse was handed a £100 fine for feeding ducks in Kent last week.

Susan Watson, 68, from Lavender Hill in Tonbridge, was out walking last Tuesday (31 January) when she was given a fine for littering after feeding some ducks.

The grandmother scattered slices of bread for the ducks before she was approached by a Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council officer who fined her £100.
