Fighting Male Long-tailed Ducks, Iceland
Private site, Lake Myvatn, Iceland (June 2017)
This image was taken during a trip organised by Natures Images and led by Danny Green and Paul Hobson. Permission was obtained from the landowner to erect four dome hides next to a private pond.
Generally the male Long-tailed Ducks were floating around apparently half-asleep but they soon exploded into action if a rival drifted or landed too close to them.
