Two drake Mallards tip forward in perfect sync, heads underwater and tails pointed at the sky as they feed below the surface. Only their white rumps, curled black tail feathers and orange feet paddling for balance show above the water. Rings of ripples spread out around them across water turned gold by reflected autumn reeds. It's a funny, well-timed moment of ordinary duck life.
