Trying to hide

About a year ago I was witness to a group rape. In the same park this morning a female mallard (may be the same?) was flying up to the top of a tree. She was quite well hidden there (maybe you can´t even find her), but the males knew she was there, trying to reach her.

I´ve never seen ducks in trees before - quite astonished I quickly preparated my camera.

Here´s a close up on the female.


And here´s a whole set of pictures from last years group rape.


P.S. Originally I posted this but it was really bad in the thumbnail. This is blurry too, I know, sorry...
