Of all the duck..................
I was driving to work this morning and this duck LITERALLY fell out of the sky.
Seriously, I was toodling along quite happy (and no, I hadn't been drinking for all you smartie pants out there), and this poor little duck came crashing down from what looked like the roof of the local garage!!!!!!!
Bless it, I don't think it was all that young, but it was very small and couldn't walk that fast.............. he looked so cold and tired, and it's been freezing over here.
So after a quick grapple on the road, me and Bert (he looked like a Bert) headed up to Auntie Jayne the Vet in the North of the Island, where she's taken him in and he will spend the rest of his days in the sunshine amongst about 50 other ducks with various wonky legs and dodgy wings.
A Happy Tale for the start of the week!!!
(Am tempted to build a little pond and keep him myself, but I don't think the cats would be too amused)
