Comment | Courtship displays by male Musk Ducks can be spectacular but are usually performed out of reach. This image shows the final part of the display with the intensity at its peak. The bill-lobe has become turgid, cheeks inflated, the tail fully cocked forward over the back and the splash is accompanied by a loud descending whistle. | ||||||||||||||||||
