You may remember a couple of months back, our duck, Jemima passed away. Well, we have a new duck, thanks to our generous neighbour.
Nelson and Jemima ii
Seeing as the new duck was so like our original one we have decided to called her Jemima the Second. She is quite shy but gradually seems to be settling into her new home. Currently she and Nelson are hard at work finding slugs in the vegetable plot. Though Nelson does seem to prefer the poultry field and duck pond!

Yes, it was quite funny Nelson tried to ignore her the first day but she kept tagging along and now they go everywhere together!

Such a handsome pair. They look quite contented. I wish I had a duck or two to eat our slugs. Fox and coyote make short work of poultry around these parts. 😦

We have had our losses to fox and mink too – need to be always vigilant, particularly when they are not behind the electric poultry fence.

How lovely. And you have answered my question as I was wondering what Nelson thought of his new companion. Persistence wins the day!
