I saw this image of a displaying male goldeneye, taken by Graham Eaton, and just had to share it! I feel that it really captures the energy the males put into attracting the ladies!
This medium-sized diving duck can be found all over the UK at the moment, lakes and reservoirs are favourite haunts. I actually saw some myself at Grafham Water in Cambridgeshire over the weekend. The male's display is quite something, it'd be difficult for any nearby females to resist, surely?
There's thousands more images like this in our RSPB images library. Take a look, it's stacked full of wildlife shots from all over the world.
