A Tufted duck having a bad hair day, and that was also swimming towards me without looking. Birds can be weird...

Tufted ducks on Wanstead flats 6.7.26

Image IDs: a series of photos showing two male tufted ducks, black with grey sides and yellow eyes, playfighting (i think). In the first image, the two have their bodies crossed over each other, raised out of the water with their bills open. The second and third images show the water splashing upwards as the birds hit the water again. The fourth and fifth images show one duck swimming on the water’s surface surrounded by ripples, before it also dives under water.
