Oh, they are such stunners Linda. Really glad you got to see them, and even better, snap them

Thanks PB, I wasn't leaving without seeing them yesterday! Paths were like ice rinks and a dusting of snow and they were hiding in the thick growth...one wee flash of orange and I was doing cartwheels!!!

Great Pics Linda. Love the mandarin ducks. There is a house a few miles from me with a huge pond. Happens to keep mandarin ducks there, and they have nesting boxes.

I have seen Mandarins in the wild but never close enough to admire their beautiful plumage. Great photos.

Thanks William, oh wow that must be great to see them locally!

Thanks Jack, I managed to get to within 6ft of them, was lovely to watch them
