(R7) Mandarin Duck (Aix galericulata) ♂

            Taken at one of my local patch sites in Northwest Leicestershire.

Surprised to see 2 ♂ Mandarins today, this is bird #1 far more colourful and active and concerned about his appearance. 
During preening gave me the opportunity to concentrate on his flamboyant head.
