I was watching one section of the beach when all of a sudden all hell broke loose on another section. Everything with feathers or plumage took to the sky - double quick and then some. When I trained my telescope to the centre of attention, I could see the reason: A sea eagle had struck one of the weeks-old ducklings in the area, and was just swooping back to pick up his prey. The eagle, duckling in talons, sat down on a rock and started to pick feathers off the duckling. From 200 meters away I could see - although not hear - the duckling scream all trough the process. By this time the eagle was becoming increasingly harassed by every crow, seagull and magpie near the beach, so he left to have his fastfood meal elsewhere. Pretty? Maybe not. Fascinating - certainly!

But all this talk of guns makes me _very_ glad the eBob won't be attending... ;-) Grant -- _____________________________________________________________________ Grant R.
