Mallard Duck Necrophilia in Doncaster
Like 2 Dislike 0 Published on 13 Jun 2012
At the height of the breeding season on Doncaster Lakeside a group of male mallard ducks (drakes) attempt to mate with a dead female mallard duck (drake). A swan appears to find the activity annoying, whether this is because they are disturbing it's feeding or whether the swan is aware the drake is dead is difficult to tell. Towards the end of the sequence, one mallard drake appears to claimed the drake as 'his'. The video clips appear in the sequence in which they were shot, except the initial clip which has been inserted at the start for setting the scene.
