Blue Billed Ducks

[Rob Geraghty <>]

I saw an intersting behaviour by a male Blue Billed Duck today.  He bobbed up 
and down in the water several times and grabbed a couple of bill-fulls of water 
and splashed them out.  I'm not sure whether he was aiming the display at the 
nearby female or a slightly more distant male.  The two males chased each other 
back and forth during the next five minutes, but I'm not convinced that the 
earlier display was aimed at the male.  It seemed to be aimed at the female.

Has anyone seen similar behaviour in Blue Billed or other ducks?
