Wild ducks showering

[Stoned]

On the last day of my trip was surprised to see a family(i think) of wild ducks taking a bath in the river just outside my hotel. Took the opportunity for my first ever bird shoot. Comments appreciated

Could someone enlighten me on this one? Is that a nasty head wound or some plumage colouring? This was the only fellow that had it.

the ducks are really cute!
i happen to like the first one where the water splashes all around. it has a >< on it's face.
