Water waltzer

The common pochard (Aythya ferina) is a diving duck. The photo shows two males.

In italiano si chiama Moriglione, è anche questa un'anatra tuffatrice che può scendere fino a 2 metri, l'atteggiamento sembra affettuoso ma non lo è, ciao Giangiorgio

Grazie Giangiorgio, hai ragione, la scena fa parte di una feroce competizione tra i due uccelli maschi, ciao Sandor

I really like this. The interaction with the ducks and the point of view is great. The details and color are crisp and clear.

A very compelling moment in nature, Sandor. You have really outdone yourself. Everything in this image is perfect. Lovely red eyes. Best regards, Paul.

Thank you, Brian, for the kind note. As Giangiorgio guessed and I confirmed, the two birds were in a competition for a female fiercely revolving around each other. So it is less friendly as it looks like. Kind regards, Sandor

Thank you, Paul, for commenting on it. As I wrote previously, this is a less friendly moment than it looks like. Best regards, Sandor
