Baby Duckling Picture 1

I took this picture of a Baby Duckling who survived an attack by Seagulls. Its two other siblings were killed by Seagulls. I took this picture on a Friday afternoon, knowing that by the following Monday it would itself probably killed by the same Seagulls that killed its siblings. I went back on the following Monday, and it was nowhere to be found.
