Thats a cool pose Axel. I have never seen one doing this neck stretch before. Was it part of a display? Cheers
Thanks for looking,

Gorgeous, Axel. Love the long tail- hard to get sometimes. I like the little wake in front, and water drops on the duck.

Thanks, Mike! There were some hens nearby, no active courtship but maybe he wanted to impress them anyway. :)

Axel, splendid perky pose with great head angle and lovely upsweep of tail.  Love the way that bow wave is cresting over, adding further visual interest :)

Is this a long tail duck or a long necked duck?? Very cool perky pose and I like the loooong tail on this great looking drake. Well done Axel

What a great pose. I think they are more attractive in this plumage than the breeding plumage. Well done.....and congrats on the Editor's Pick.
