Marsh Harriers - In flight dining - a photo on Flickriver

            Here is how it works: Male Marsh harrier catches the hapless ducking., female Marsh harrier flies up to meet him., he drops the duckling., she (as she is about to do here) catches the duckling and takes it back to the nest to feed her own chicks. This picture is simultaneously slightly cruel and slightly spectacular., but a complete example of how nature works
