All the little ducks went out one day

Nat Geo's Your Shot photographer Tran Tuan Viet captured this aerial image of feeding time on a duck farm. “Van Dinh Grass Duck has become quite a famous cuisine of Vietnam,” writes Viet. “Duck raising has been a traditional job for hundreds of years in Van Dinh, a commune in Southwest Hanoi. Ducks here seem to be accustomed to feeding, they bump themselves around the farmer every time he appears.” Photo posted on natgeoyourshot on Instagram.
