Name that Duck
Couldn't resist building this puzzle. Can anyone identify this duck? I've never seen one like this before.

A Mandarin Duck.
Don;t ask me why I know that, it's just one of those things that's in my weird head.

Yes, a Mandarin duck, native to China and Japan, or thereabouts. Beautiful plumage, squire!
Re: Name that Duck
Thanks very much for the info, fellas. Lovely bird. I hope this isn't the "Mandarin Duck" served in Chinese restaurants.

Re: Name that Duck
Dead clever, those Chinese, I see it carries a spare pair of flippers in its back pocket; handy to escape those underwater dragon attacks.
Re: Name that Duck
Yes Mandarin. Lives wild in the UK as well. The possibility is there may be more wild in the UK than in Asia. Closely related to your Carolina/Wood Duck, Brian.

Looks like the lesser bearded t shirt duck to me

In all honesty I think a toddler dropped his toy duck into the water instead of the bath!!

With it’s long red beard I’d suggest Ducky McTavish. EricT
