Mallard (003) - Protective Mother #1

species: A mallard mother (Anas platyrhynchos) chasing after a male who came to close toward her ducklings.
I couldn´t get a photo with the male because he flew away quickly. Nobody messes with Mom!



camera & lens: Nikon D90; AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-300 mm
location: Vienna, Austria
