Limburg Netherlands - Pair of Tufted Ducks while and after mating ? (1 Viewer)

[Bertus]

To me it looks like a drowning technique, but they are diving a lot and so to see after on the 3rd pic, the female did not suffer too much. I guess this is what Tufted Duck mating is about? Tnx for advise..

Typical mating behaviour for many duck species.
