Mandarin Duck - Aix galericulata

This one is for Peter
Photographed at the boating pond, Lydney, Gloucestershire, UK
It was a misty morning.

Please look at my website bobswildlife.co.uk. There is a photo of a Black-tailed Prairie Dog,  And a photo of  the Glasswing butterfly by Callum Bushell in the 'Guest Photos '.
