Description
Belligerant looking duck. Not surprised, really. Poor buggers are getting constantly mounted by the randy drakes.Related content

Thanks for the fave. It was dozing quietly outside my kitchen window. I woke the poor thing when I started clicking away. No wonder she looked surprised.

I think the poor girl was having a rest from being harrassed by oversexed males. She was floating asleep outside my kitchen window, but noticed me clicking away, and woke up in a grumpy mood.

Nice shot mate..
The males can get really vicious at times and drown the poor girls!! Especially when there is more then a couple of males in tow of a solitary female

It can be quite harrowing to see, Kelvin. I am surrounded by gangs of males mounting exhausted females. They grab the backs of their necks and hold their heads under the water. I stand on the front of my boat throwing pieces of coal at them, but nature is nature, and as soon as I scare them off, they are back at it. The marina has pathetic little bodies floating around it at this time of year. The first of the chicks are scudding around the boat, so the sexual chauvanism should end fairly shortly.

mating season
The hen ducks in our town lake look like drowned rats because the males mount them on the water

Same here, mate. They hold the poor girl's heads under the water, and there are always a few pathetic little bodies floating around the marina.

Nice work! I like how close up it is and the details of the feathers.

Thanks. She was asleep outside my kitchen window, and I woke her by clicking away. I don't think she was pleased.

Thanks, mate. She was asleep outside my kitchen window. I woke her clicking away, and she gave me a really dirty look before going back to sleep.
