Description
Mandarin Duck Cruising Through Our Village
Over the last few months this little, but shy fellow is cruising through Voorhout.
I have spotted him in the ditch behind our house, a canal nearby etc. etc and in the Pool behind the church were I was able to catch him on a photo from behind a tree!!
He is always with 5 “normal” ducks ( 2 females and 3males) and aggressive to other ducks around.
Most likely he is escaped from a zoo or a private garden / pool, and rather afraid of people!!
Over the last few days so many water-birds has been presented, so I think this beauty deserves an upload as well!!!
Have a very nice week, with less rain then we had today

Wonderful image, and even more special that you caught him "in the wild". A most beautiful bird and capture!
Fantastic color and lighting, the object is crisp and clear.
Your pic of him is super, he should be well pleased if he knew!
They are such beautiful birds and you never know Henk this may be a wild one as there is a small free-flying population in Britain stemming from the release captive bred ducks.
well composed capture of this beautiful bird.
