Fighting Mallards

We were waiting for the fog to lift as the weather forecast said. That’s why we started our walk only in the afternoon. The fog stayed and the light was terrible but we still managed to see many birds in this bizarre foggy landscape.

The mallards are already courting and those two drakes got into a real fight in the mud.

Now that gives a whole new meaning to mud wrestling!

Have a great 2012 with wonderful birding.
