A young Hooded Merganser approached a mallard duckling and was quickly chased away by the duckling's mother. This got an immediate and very aggressive response from the Hooded Merganser's mother who although half the size , put the run on the mallad. Eventually the mallard fought back but the Merganser was too quick for her and escaped. The two families met up again 20 minutes later and it appeared the mallard was going to get her revenge but the Merganser herded her family safely out of the way.
