A male multi-tasking????

A male multi-tasking???? (Anas platyrhynchos)

My friend and I spent an extended lunch break at my old patch "Up the Hill" on Sunday, quite a bit to be seen but this was a record shot taken through the windscreen of a couple of Mallards.

It wasn't until I downloaded the pictures that I realised one was scratching his neck. A bit of co-ordination required there, as he must have been paddling madly with the other foot to keep up with his pal. Didn't think males were capable of multi-tasking LOL

Saturday Fun

Sorry.... quite a bit of pain today, which meant more painkillers, which meant more sleep!!! Hope this op comes soon!!!
