Venus Pool - Tuftie display team

Those who know me, realise my favourite break from birding is a fast flying jet or two! Whilst they wont challenge the red arrows in the speed stakes; for close formation stuff , these Tufted duck would take some beating! And H&S would probably knock some of these manoeuvres on the head!!

It's the thrill of the chase but who's chasing who. This female had eight admiring suitors (not all in the frame) and she was doing most of the chasing...


And leading, by a short bill?


Tight turns...


And effortless glides...


But two's company and three is a crowd!


You'll have to make your mind up girl...
