Raj, nature has beautiful aspects in it, but also cruel ones. It's often the case in nature that the saying 'eat or be eaten' often applies. In this case, herons and rats are probably responsible for this kind of massacre. The positive thing is that Mother Duck can now devote all her attention in protecting the youngster. Cute and beautiful capture!

It is a rough world for the little babes in the wild. The mamas do the best they can but it doesn't always work out. This little duck can count on some special attention. It is a pretty thing. Nice capture, Raj.
