Name that Duck

Post by FlyTexas »

Couldn't resist building this puzzle. :) Can anyone identify this duck? I've never seen one like this before. :dunno:

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!

Thanks very much for the info, fellas. :) Lovely bird. I hope this isn't the "Mandarin Duck" served in Chinese restaurants. :worried:

Dead clever, those Chinese, I see it carries a spare pair of flippers in its back pocket; handy to escape those underwater dragon attacks.

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.

In all honesty I think a toddler dropped his toy duck into the water instead of the bath!! 8)
