    (Pic 7) A night heron flys away with its dinner, a duckling that has wandered too far from its mother. The duckling is flung about as water splashes off the Night Heron.
    Night Heron Snatches Duckling For Dinner
    These shocking images show nature at its worst.

    A night heron is pictured taking off with a duckling that has swum too far away from its mother.

    As the heron flies off with his dinner, eye contact is made between the mother duck and her duckling who is struggling to get away.

    Wildlife photographer Michael Yang was taking his wife out to spot some cute wildlife at Radio Road in California to cheer her up after being ill for a few days.

    He said: "We were hoping to find some baby avocets, stilts, or ducklings and were both really happy to see several families of ducklings following their mothers around the pond.

    "As we were watching the ducklings a night heron flew in, which are not uncommon in the area but what we did not expect to see was the night heron land near a duckling that had wandered a little too far from its mother and snatch it from the water."

    The duckling tried to dive under water to escape the night heron; unfortunately it didn't get deep enough and the heron pulled it out of the water, grabbing the duckling by a foot.

    It took off with its dinner all the while the duckling was being flung about like a rag doll in the heron's beak.

    Michael said: "At some point in all this my wife had turned away and started sobbing. It didn't help that, through all this, I was taking pictures of the "event" and not comforting her instead."

    The popular birding location in Northern California is home to a variety of birds including shorebirds, herons, egrets, terns, and ducks. It is a series of wastewater tre...

    Six-Week-Old Baby Falls Into Fast Lane ... And Lives
    Tiny tot Jonathan Samuel really is a miracle baby after being catapulted from a car at 70mph and surviving without so much as a scratch.

    Six-week-old Jonathan was in his baby seat in the back of his dad Oliver's Vauxhall Astra when a tyre blew.

    The car spun round six times before smashing into the central reservation, sending Jonathan - still strapped into his seat - flying out of the door.

    He then bounced along the fast lane before being flung from his seat and coming to rest on the edge of the carriageway.

    The drama happened as salesman Oliver, 31, was driving along the M6 near Wigan with wife Sadaf, daughter Shalona, 18 months, and Jonathan.

    Sadaf was in the back with Jonathan while Shalona was in her baby seat in front.

    They had been visiting family in Glasgow and were heading home to Croydon, Surrey.

    Sadaf, 23, said: "I was asleep but woke to feel the car spinning around and the door flapping open and shut.

    "I looked to my side and saw the car seat had gone and started shouting 'Where is my baby?'"

    When the car came to a halt Oliver leapt out and frantically started scanning the carriageway for Jonathan.

    He comments: "I was screaming because I expected to find parts of him and see blood. I was looking for his body".

    Finally he spotted the crumpled car seat in the fast lane but when he reached it Jonathan wasn't there.

    "It was like a nightmare getting worse, it was agony," recalls Oliver. "Our baby was gone."

    Then he heard crying and spotted a tiny bundle in the outside lane.

    He said: "I could see headlights coming so I ran and grabbed him and carried him back to Sadaf."

    Sadaf said: "I just grabbed the baby, bracing myself for what I might see. But there wasn't a scratch. He was distressed but as soon as I cudd...
