CommentThis male Blue billed Duck was putting on a display for a nearby female who was avoiding any contact, at this time anyhow. The male was bobbing and flicking water by ducking his head into the water and flicking up with his bill. It's the first time I have seen this element of display, although I have seen them bobbing on previous occasions
