we found the duck

A few days ago one of  our ducks went missing. We did wonder if it was  AWOL, as a duck has been before and would reappear in a month or so , with a few additions.

But we found the missing duck

See it ?




Heres a close-up .

Of the wings

And  bit further on,  the legs

If it was an otter that killed the duck, why would its body be in bits and so far from the water. So perhaps its was caught and killed by an  otter and then a scavenger - a raven or crow - has taken the remains and scattered them about. 

Anyway , we are one duck fewer .
