California Quail

Lovely to see. Yes, there are always predators about. A duck in our park by the river had nine ducklings and within days she only had two left. She is very protective of them and fights any other birds that get close.

I hope he's o.k. Klahanie. They have a tough life don't they.

Aw, poor little things. It's so sad to hear of such a loss in numbers. I do hope the injured adult will be ok. You just want to protect the vulnerable ones...

What a pity.
