Mandarin duck

Posted on 19 July 2007, 22:28

The Mandarin duck (aix galericulata) is an introduced species.

Originally brought here to add colour to the lakes of stately homes, it is now making a successful living for itself in the UK.

The female is a pretty little bird, but the male is just spectacular.
