Mallard Drake doing somersaults. Taking a bath.

I was just out playing around a bit with the camera and editing. Ive seen birds and ducks take a bath countless times in my life. As I suspect you have as well. But I really don't recall watching one do somersaults. I just thought Id share a short clip of one doing just that while frolicking in the water. I slowed it down a bit each time he did it as well as when he'd flap his wings so you can fully appreciate it. Enjoy. Check out the playlists for more.
