Teen age ducks fighting over a female It lasted for ages and I managed 14 photos too late for the camcorder But here are eight . It was ever so funny to watch.
and one satisfied female.
This took place in the Exmouth brook

Great series of shots Beryl, they really do get stuck in.

Thanks Rolf.

Yes they fight like any other bird believe it or not although they don't have claws they can do some serious damage with the beaks if they want to

Like your 'Agitated Robin' Beryl, more 'killers' being observed here, though I'm not suggesting for one minute on this occasion.

No. They were just squabbling here It was fun to watch though

Wonderful - I love watching them squabble, but this looks like a real doosie of a fight.

***Chocky*** · 29-05-2008, 10:44 AM

And the poor female was at the bottom of the bundle

***ladylouise62*** · 29-05-2008, 10:57 AM

Yep - but in the sixth one she gets out and then shouts to the other birds "what'r YOU lookin' at!!!" :-)

***Chocky*** · 29-05-2008, 06:07 PM

Lol. Yes. Like I said a satisfied duck. Fancy having that many blokes fighting over you . Wow

To go out without it (which I only ever did once) is like going out without your pants on. I've never understood why I responded to the 'Cameras and Equipment' question in this way because in reality I own a Leica Telescope with eyepieces, Zeiss Binoculars, and a Manfrotto Tripod all of which cost a positive fortune.
