| TITLE:
| Mallard duck grabbing newly-fledged juvenile Sand Martin on stony ground
|
| INFO:
| ".....the poor little juvenile Sand Martin had no inkling that it was in danger and made no attempt whatsoever to fly away or move to avoid the duck, which promptly grabbed it, getting a firm grip on it as it now flapped and struggled. She didn't dispatch it there and then though but did an about turn and walked back to the water (next image)."
