and it is very sad to me.. thought i was just getting lucky to see a duck when i was crossing the bridge. but not so lucky duck i am afraid. There looks like there were other spots where the other ducks were sitting .. but they got out in time. Hoping it was a decoy...

Yeah-looks like a decoy. That’s ok. I watered fake plants for weeks before I realized that they didn’t need watering. Lol. Yes, I’m blonde.

Maybe it was alive and hiding from foxes. Tyring to act as a decoy.

Look at the eye, if it was read the eye should have gone milky when it died. I had to look at the image for a time before making up my mind, then read other post.
Brill shot, you could use it to advertise the plight of wildlife
