What a sight to see, these two male Mandarin Ducks fighting over the female just behind...and on a fence too!
V2 shows the winner got a lovely series of the event as they'squabbled' but on a fence?
Thanks for all the comments and votes yesterday, that was just before he flew to make himself known
Taken with the Canon 5D Mark iii
Come on team, sort out the camera for me it's a new model!

I guess all sorts happen when amour kicks in
I can hear their squobbling from here
Lovely sexual commentary here Lillian. Have you ever tried feeding the ducks at this time of year? They are just not interested.
Two excellent images Lillian, superb detail and colours, great timing too.
Hugh
two fine captures Lillian excellent clariyty and fine colours
Graham
Exposure and action perfect Lillian, these males are so colourful, excellent captures!

Hi Lillian, when uploading a new photo you scroll down to EXIF Data (optional) and where it says camera model name click on 'suggest a camera model' enter your camera name and once it's confirmed your model should be in the drop down list, hope that works
2 fine shots of the 'goings' on here,
Geoff.
Well spotted and nicely timed, Lillian. A bit of action for you and probably him shortly.
Dave
I can appreciate the V1 action shot, Lillian, but favour V2 for its simplicity, the pair on the fence.
Wonderful quality to these images with your new camera, Lillian 
Impossible to pick a fave, so it's half a vote for each!
Trev
Fine shots Lillian.
Going for V1 with all that action.
David
Smashing couple of shots Lillian, so unusual to see these Ducks out of Water, a nice change from the usual images that we see.

The camera is listed. We always list new cameras as soon as we hear about them which is usually several weeks before they go on sale.
When you type out the camera in the camera field it will appear when you get to Canon EOS 5D select Canon EOS 5D MkIII from the list of three cameras. I have made this and your next upload synced
Excellent shot not very often you see them in flight
mike
Two terrific action shots Lillian, I think these two combatants must be fencing!
Quote: It's all about the best looking bloke with you girls isn't it?.....Good set Lillian
Ade
That rules you out then big man!
Quote: Never seen these beautiful creatures anywhere than on the ground or in the water, so top marks for your observation and good captures Lillian.
Joan.
I agree I haven't either, great images Lillian.

You have Gary, don't you remember seeing them in the trees at Cannop Ponds in the Forest of Dean last June, I've got a photograph of one of the drakes sitting in a tree
