Teal display

A modest attempt to show the Teal (Anas crecca/Wintertaling) display game. The ♂♂, dressed-up with a Spanish helmet (those from the Eighty Year’s War or Dutch War of Independence, 1568 – 1648), parade around the ♀♀, now and then folding their bodies like a pocket knife. Flowering willow bushes give the background a green-yellowish tint.

Prachtige foto's van de wintertaling. Heb ze zelf van het weekend ook gefotografeerd maar lang niet zo fraai. Via birdpix op je site gekomen en bij m'n favoriete blogs geplaatst.
