Yep we get Yankee birds at the nature reserve too not just Coots, & Moorhens. People may perhaps say this is as pretty, or more pretty than a Mandarin Duck.

I have some jpgs of Mandarins too but their looking a bit rough right now as it's past their breeding season so I can't really give a balanced opinion.

Killer Image Phil.
Wish you could have gotten that trash out of the water .
It would have made this Pic Amazing.
The Color and Detail are Perfect.
Thanks for sharing.

Now I know where the Mullet came from. Great photo Phlossie and it is a beauty. I thought Mandarins were oranges. I didn't realize they were orange ducks. Nice post.

Perfect capture, Phil. You got the colors and those body feathers perfectly. Most people crank up the contrast and destroy this detail. Hat off. I bow to your prowess.

Hey, we have the same ducks down here in Holland. Near my house is a farmer who keeps some of these beauties in his pond.
Great shot!
