Rare ducks which are native to North America have been spotted attempting to breed in Yorkshire, wildlife wardens have said.

The male and female blue-winged teal were spotted at Yorkshire Water’s Tophill Low nature reserve near Driffield, East Yorkshire, on a number of occasions over the last 12 months.
