Description

14 April 2011. Today I spent quite a lot of time in Fairlands Valley watching birds and rodents trying to get decent photos, and noticed about a dozen or more male mallards all piling up at the side of a lake. I went round to investigate and they were all fighting over a female - climbing on her, biting her and probably mating with her. She kept trying to escape from the lake but couldn't manage to jump out, even when left alone. The top of her head looked very sore. I have never seen anything like this before.

Although this isn't great quality, it's probably not too bad when viewed here (medium size). Water and movement isn't a good combination.
