This male Long-tailed Duck made repeated amorous advances towards this female, despite the fact that she was caring for five chicks.
Perhaps in part due to his pestering, over the course of three visits to this pond on three consecutive days, her brood of chicks decreased from five to three to one.
Top Notch capture !
