EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot by Brian Bevan, we witness a truly quackers scene unfolding in Hertfordshire, UK. The print titled "BB-1709" captures an intense showdown between two male mallards vying for dominance over their watery kingdom. With feathers ruffled and tempers flaring, these feisty fowls engage in a no-holds-barred duel that would make even professional wrestlers envious. One determined drake appears to be channeling his inner Michael Phelps as he attempts to dunk his rival beneath the water's surface. It seems our avian protagonist has taken inspiration from aquatic sports and is dead set on winning gold. . . or should we say green? Splashes abound as wings flap furiously and bills clash with resounding thwacks! This epic display of aggression showcases nature's wild side at its finest - reminding us that even seemingly serene creatures can unleash their inner warriors when push comes to peck. The vibrant colors of these European ducks contrast beautifully against the tranquil backdrop of United Kingdom's waterscape. As spectators to this thrilling spectacle, we can't help but marvel at the sheer determination and audacity displayed by these magnificent birds. So grab your popcorn (or breadcrumbs) and prepare for a front-row seat to nature's ultimate feathered face-off! Just remember, it's all fun and games until someone gets wet feathers…
