    Wild duck's nest
    On evening I got a Wild duck's nest. There were ten eggs in it. It was with moss and feathers. The eggs were about the size of a duckegg, and light blue in colour.
    The Nest was in a mossy bank at the side of a little stream running through a valley. You could not see the nest nest unless you saw the Wild duck going out, because she had it covered in with heather, that grew about it.
