Hello Missie would you like to be my girlfriend?
At the same day that I saw the horned grebes (flickr.com/photos/115540984@N02/54816867871/in/dateposted), there were a lot of Common Goldeneyes swimming around, and they gave me a great show!
The males clearly were bothered by their hormones, which resulted in threatening behaviour towards other males, but towards the females they were very courteous. They made very funny sounds too, another sign they were in the mood for love.
The females were off course very critical/choosy, and ignored most of the time the males. it was still rather early in spring and they hadn't decided yet which Casanova to date.
But thanks to all the hormones flying around, they hadn't the least interest in me, and they came very close. It resulted in many wonderful pictures. This is one of them.
