Lucky enough to catch a couple of Musk Ducks this morning with the male doing his best to impress.
Lots of fantails and foot splashes but she did not seem very interested and at one stage left him in mid performance and went for a wander to the other side of the pond.
He looked very put out when he finally realised she had done a runner :-)
Nice observation. I have never seen their mating display

Aiming for DSLR-quality shots with a bridge camera
What an extraordinary sight. She does look a bit blase. Wonderful photos.

Wow what a difference in size between the female and male. I have heard about the males antics but never witnessed it yet.

Great photos Rick
I have witnessed that display once a couple of years, its certainly a great show
Dont take life too seriously, it never ends well
Wow, well done. I have only seen pics, didn't realise how much bigger the males were.
Interesting shots
Nice ones Rick, the male display is an interesting sight.
Ryu, check the one at Tidbinbilla. Even though there is no girl he still does his display.
