Photo: David (Olympus Stylus)
Nice pair of Mandarins, are they looking for some action??
great colours David
"Where do you think you're going?"! Calm and serene above -paddling like mad below!
Lovely picture.
Nice one David.
Obviously a pair (Drake & Duck)..You wouldn't expect such exotic birds to be seen on a Wigan pond...Just shows the diversity of wild life that abound this area..Great pic, colours captured so well!
V.good David, surely the most colourful birds to visit us.
Lovely photograph David.
Such beautiful colours/markings on the male bird. It would appear that most male birds such as pheasants, peacocks, finches, etc, are a lot more colourful than the females, who can look quite dowdy.
Thank goodness it's the opposite in us humans, eh ladies?!!
Not seen these for a while,Well captured Good picture.
Presumably the same pair were on the flooded field opposite Haigh Hall car park Sunday morning.
Fabulous colours. Lovely bird. Good pic.
