Oh these are wonderful, Bob. There has only been one sighting of a Mandarin duck in my local pond and that was pretty much before my photography days. Half of the province was down here with cameras. You've captured some beautiful shots.
Never seen anything like it. Amazing! These images are so sharp. Your blog is great. As new in this blog world, I am your new follower. I can see there is a lot to learn. Have a nice week.
Whenever I see anyone post these, I wish that I view them one day. Your images are exceptional...~
