Inappropriate duck behaviour
There are an unprecedented few days of sun and good weather and the ducklings have hatched [see 'duck love' for their origins], and there were many of them, but male ducks [drakes?] can be real dicks.
It is the kids that suffer, really. Them, and the duck getting attacked.

Many thanks to waterfowl genitalia enthusiast and “expert googlistess” Johanna (http://www.boersch-supan.de/johanna.htm) for bringing this to attention.
