A colourful Mandarin Duck, photographed in the water from the side. Its beautiful colours really stand out against the dark water. Orange, gold, green, black, white, red and purple. His red-orange beak is open because he's calling out for company.

Since about two days, we have a somewhat uncommon visitor in our pond. Normally, it's just some #Mallards and #CommonMoorhens, but the day before yesterday, the pond got colourful with this beautiful #Mandarin.
