I went duckling-watching

Yesterday I went duckling-watching with my friend, Jazz at a lake near her house.

As we walked towards the lake, we saw some red hens walking on a grate. They were mother and father red hens. Then we saw a duck swimming up to them. As we walked around the side of the lake, Jazz saw some ducklings and we went to get a closer look as one of the ducklings swam towards us. We started walking on again.

Me and Jazz sat down on a bench and watched DJ KJ and her brother, Dark_Zelda running laps around the lake. Suddenly, we saw a long-neck turtle on the grass! I had never seen one like that before. Me, Jazz and our parents crowded around it and it moved towards the long, sharp plants near the lake. DJ KJ ran towards us to see what we were looking at. Then Jazz‘s brother walked towards us. After we got a good look at the turtle, we cleared her a path. Well, I think it was a girl! She slowly walked to the lake. DJ KJ followed her to make sure she got there. Jazz and DJ KJ were complaining about her going too slow and I was telling them to just let nature unfold. Jazz’s mum was holding their dog, Legend, back from the turtle. The turtle finally ventured into the tall grass and we couldn’t see her anymore. No birds could get her in the grass. Hopefully she got to the lake. Jazz‘s mum let go of Legend’s collar and we walked him back to their house. I pet him a lot. I love animals!

On the way back, we saw some more birds. We saw some ducks, the red hens from before and a couple of cockatoos.

Me and Jazz thought we could maybe come back to clean the lake coz there was so much rubbish there. That reminds me, if you wanna clean up a lake or tidepool that you think might be polluted or at risk of not being a good home for animals or any kind of life, do it! You can gather all your friends and form a team to cover more ground. If want a environmental job done, don’t rely on other people, especially the government, to do it, you better take action by yourself or with a few friends, because nobody knows how you want a job done better than you and if you are like me and don’t know if the government would do a cleanup that is aware of the life already there, there is all the more reason you should do it yourself. #Beindependant
