A flock of ducklings scramble in their shelter at a poultry farm in Doazit
A flock of ducklings scramble in their shelter at a poultry farm in Doazit, Southwestern France, December 17, 2015. France has detected the first cases of low pathogenic H5N3 bird flu and found more cases of highly infectious strains in an outbreak of the disease in the southwest of the country. The outbreak is affecting Frances main foie gras producing region just before demand peaks over the year-end holiday season, although the authorities have stressed there is no evidence that bird flu can be transmitted to humans via food.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming print captured by Regis Duvignau, a flock of adorable ducklings can be seen scrambling in their shelter at a poultry farm in Doazit, Southwestern France. The image showcases the unity and close bond shared among these fluffy creatures as they huddle together for warmth and protection. However, behind the innocence portrayed in this picture lies a somber reality. Taken on December 17,2015, during an outbreak of bird flu in France's main foie gras producing region, it serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by farmers during such crises. France had just detected its first cases of low pathogenic H5N3 bird flu along with highly infectious strains that were affecting the area. Despite concerns about the impact on foie gras production just before the year-end holiday season when demand peaks, authorities reassured consumers that there was no evidence to suggest transmission of bird flu through food consumption. This photograph beautifully captures both nature's abundance and vulnerability. The detailed shot highlights each duckling's soft down feathers while showcasing their cute and playful demeanor. It also provides insight into life on a poultry farm where animals are raised for agriculture purposes. Overall, Duvignau's creative use of composition brings attention to these charming baby animals while shedding light on an important issue within the agricultural industry.
