So many feathers of different colours on this recent visitor to the Wandle delta, a male mandarin duck. A bright spring is forecast!

A brightly coloured duck floats on a river. It has a blue and orange head with a red crest and beak, a purple breast, orang wings, a blue-green back and a touch of white on the edges and tips of its wings.
In all the years of my Wandle wanders I haven't seen a mandarin duck. But today a pair were along Point Pleasant.
They don't look real.

A male Mandarin Duck swimming in profile on rippling water. The duck’s complex plumage includes a dark crest, white eye-stripe, ruff of orange feathers, and its characteristic orange "sail" feathers rising from its back. The background is a dazzling, blurred expanse of vibrant golden-orange light reflecting off the water’s surface, creating a warm, painterly effect behind the bird.
Even if he is very colorful, the reflection of sunlight of a stone building in the back kinda steals the show here.

Ich bin Bilder eines Workshops am bearbeiten. Zur Zeit das Bild einer Mandarinenenten, welcher ich den Kopf in Großansicht gekroppt habe.

A male Mandarin Duck stands in shallow water, facing to the left. The duck has blue feathers on the top of its head and the top half of its face is white with a black eye. The lower half of its face has long orange/brown feathers. It has a white breast, brown flanks, blue/black wings, orange feathers forming a 'sail' at the bottom of its back, and white and black tail feathers. It's reflection shimmers directly beneath it in the water. The duck and it's reflection look like they are gazing adoringly into each other's eyes.
A look of absolute love for his perfect Valentine? 😉
