SHEEP dogs herding ducks was a sight to behold at a village country show at the weekend.
It was the first time in the annual Keyworth show's 40-year history that the organisers have held a duck-herding event.
And organiser Sue Calladine, 54, said it really drew in the crowds.
"It's fantastic, a lot of people haven't seen it before. And that's what we wanted to try and do, create something different," she said.
Around ten ducks had to be herded through a course before being neatly shepherded into a pen.
Bill Veryan, 71, who had travelled to the show from Huthwaite to meet friends said: "I've never seen anything quite like it. At first I thought it was a joke. The dogs are incredibly obedient."
The show – which funds itself through collecting money from entry tickets – saw more than 3,500 people walk through its gates to enjoy the soaring temperatures and peruse the food and craft stalls.
