Gardening with Peg

l love this duck. This is Peg, the Duck with 9 lives. So far she has used up two so hopefully has many more to go yet. Her first near death encounter was when she was only a few weeks old. She had her entire wing nipped off by a grumpy goose. Amazingly she survived the trauma and gets around quite happily with one wing and one stump!

Her second was a close encounter with a Quoll who killed a goose and severely mauled poor old Peg. Again , despite her injuries she battled on and lived to tell the tale.

She is a bit of a funny girl. No one particularly likes her  ( as in the other ducks and geese) and she doesn't particularly LIKE anyone either!.......except me when l have a spade in my hand..................then she LOVES me!

Worms, worms, worms....................

Every spade turn uncovers more!!

l have to be really quite careful where l put it!!

Terribly exciting!

But she does get a little annoying and slows my digging time down considerably!

Uh-oh.........here come the geese!!

Then after 'our' hard work we finish off with an impromptu shower bath! Peg doesn't swim (probably due to only having one wing) so she bathes in shallow water or when she gets lucky.......has a hose bath which she loves! 

Happy Peg.

l love to see it.....
