I came across the scene below at Godrevy last week, and although I have seen animals and birds taking quarry many times I found this particularly moving.
My thoughts are this is the work of a Peregrine Falcon and was a very recent kill.
So nothing more to be said just sad to see this lovely Female Mallard come to this.
FEMALE MALLARD.
What a very sad Image,but as you say Monty,we have to except these things.
ReplyDeleteThe good, The bad, and the Ugly,springs to mind.
John.
I think John (above) said it all Monty, sad and the not so beautiful side of Nature. At least in the animal (as opposed to the human) kingdom it is instinct and survival but not malice.
ReplyDeleteA shame Monty didn't manage a Monty on the previous post but it sounded like you had a pleasant visit :)
Ciao Monts, image is a very cruel but you're right it is part of nature and I did not think offensive!
ReplyDeleteI wish you and your family a peaceful and happy Easter!
Oh, picture is a very cruel, I'm sorry.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter to you and your family!
Peregrine has got to eat.
