The duck started making a racket and flapping its wings in a last-ditch effort to escape. But, instead of being gobbled up, it was simply moved along, in the bird equivalent of help- ing someone cross the road. The shoebill, an imposing 1.2m (4ft) animal, then contin- ued on its way. The extraordinary sequence was captured by amateur phot- ographer Mark Kay at San Di- ego Zoos Wild Animal Park. I was getting my camera out when I started to hear ducks quacking. I immediately start- ed shooting, he said. I soon realised the shoebill was moving him out of the way. I suspect the duck moved into his personal space, added the 51-year-old. Mr Kay, a professor in genet- ics, is using the images to teach students that initial assump- tions are not always correct. Shoebills usually eat fish, frogs and insects but also take small mammals and reptiles. By Jo STeele
