Good job you don't live up north. We've had mostly grey skies for months. Does nothing to lift the spirits. When I see your photos showing blue skies I think "she's getting more than her fair share" 😉
• in reply toCDPO16
Well my fair share hmm I guess so 😂😂 ....I was raised in the North the far North of Glasgow so adore blue skies and sunshine nowadays 💙
Eye catching to say the least. Is Mrs Mandarin as colourful? 🤔
Oh he's gorgeous and I love the reflection. It is definitely a mandarin. When I was a child a solitary male came to live with all the mallards on the local lake. I wondered why he never wandered off in search of a mate, but he looked very exotic in suburban North London. xxx

Is it not if their mate passes they don't ever take another one and live solitary life's...don't quote me on that but yes they are very exotic 🧡💚

Swans certainly can remain single. We had one in a local park whose mate was killed. He went bananas when the parkies introduced a nice young female on to his pond and just wouldn't accept her. I don't know if ducks are so loyal, but that might explain why our mandarin remained a bachelor.

He certainly is there colours are just awesome 🧡💚
Hi BB, seeing this photo of a Mandarin duck caught my interest. It really is a beautiful, flamboyant looking bird so I decided to do a little research. Its apparently a descendent of the original Mandarin duck which was imported to the UK from Asia in the 1920s. Like a lot of wealthy people through the ages they wanted exotic looking birds and animals to show of their wealth. Although I have never been lucky enough to see one here in Wales these birds are now quite rare in the countries of their origin. Thanks for another interesting photo.Xxx

Thankyou for all the information you researched that's lovley to know 🧡
That’s amazing, it really does look painted 🦆
• in reply toHungryHufflepuff
Certainly does very bright 🧡💚
Hey Bb9, thanks for this beautiful photo.Mandarin ducks: the ultimate love symbol!
The Chinese name for Mandarin duck is Yuanyang, where yuan refers to the beautifully plumed male bird and yang the plainer female one. For married couples having some “tough time” with your life partner, keeping a pair of Mandarin Ducks will help resolve all issues.🤪

I used to have a pair of Mandarin Ducks, had to put them face to face with the beaks touching. Said to bring romance and love. My daughter had them in her bedroom. 🦆🦆💕💕 xxSheila
🙏🏾👍As per rules of Feng Shui .
What a stunner. They’re very vibrant. What a lot of information it built up too. Thanks bb8. Beautiful to see xx Anita

Thankyou Anita ❤
I have never seen such a beautiful duck, thank you xx
• in reply toSnackjack
Certainly gorgeous 😍
Oh my! What a gorgeous specimen! If we wore all those colors at one time, we'd look awful, but on this duck, they are absolutely beautiful.
• in reply todunnellon
I have a patchwork jacket in similar colours it's very old now but I just love wearing it 💙💛💚
You have given me an idea!Since my family seem to think I am somewhat eccentric think I shall do just that and wear clashing colours and a bright eyecatching in your face hat!
Just for the fun of it -except I don't go out often so the shock factor will be limited to the neighbours dog......
• in reply toCloudancer
That's so funny 🤣 the neighbours dog 🐕
Oh wow that's is so so beautiful -would like to see one in real life but this is just as special!
• in reply toCloudancer
It's my first time seeing a lone one .. normally in pairs but fear this one has lost his mate 💛
Yes, often the old comfy clothes are the best especially if good memories accompany them! I had a pair of sneakers with all those colors on them when I was 10yr. old. The other kids made fun of my shoes, but I adored them and was very reluctant to let them go when I'd outgrown them. Fancy feet, I guess!
• in reply todunnellon
Absolutely awesome memories ❤
Lovely to see, thanks, plus I’ve learned lots from this thread today.
• in reply toteenieleek
Me to lots of knowledge around 💚
Beautiful . When we lived on Chicksands (USAF Base) in Bedfordshire, we had one that came round every year 🐞
• in reply toNicholatracy
💛💚🧡
We have those at a park not too far from me and they are stunning. Thank you Bb. Jax🐶x
• in reply toHighGables
They are lots of them around but this one's by himself lost his mate poor boy 💚
The teal and burnt orange are lovely together, I fancy a new dress !!

Get yourself to the January sales and treat yourself ❤
Good picture of Mandarin Duck thanks. When our on motorbikes coming from Peak District etc, would have rest at benches alone road at JCB Rocester looking out over the lakes with, we were told, 78 different bird species including mandarin ducks and black swans. Since my husband died, it’s nice to go there, take picnic, watch birds, water fountains. Jean xx
There’s also ice cream van at JCB, but no toilets! xx
