I spent three years as After-hours Caretaker at Lake Leschenaultia Campground a beautiful campsite by a man-made lake. A lot of strange things happened to me in that time. This is one of my favorites.
Story of a campground Caretaker who witnesses a family of little black ducks leaving the nest in a rather dramatic way ie plummeting to the ground. He rescues as many as he can from the crows who are attacking them.
One day while walking towards my campsite home about a dozen little black ducks decided it was time to leave the nest above my head, their home being in a hole in a large gum tree. Unfortunately they could not fly and all fell to the ground around me.
