Mandarin Duck (Aix galericulata)

A family gathering at my mums and Dads, with brothers and wife, one only, she was ill. So, I didn't do any photography but, it wasn't raining. So, I dipped in  the my magic bag.

  18. The duck on the left is stunning indeed, and yet it's the duck on the right, the less-pretty duck, that throws arrows straight to my heart. It might be the angle, the view of the back of it's cheek, the ruffled feathers on the top of it's head...a spectacular yet subtle character-study. I love it!
