These two were not on speaking terms although they seem to be paired, no way would they be together, Know the female is tight in the frame, rear-end but there was a rusty oil drum beside her that I could not clone out

Nice to see and well captured. As a teenager I had a "pet" pair of mandarin ducks!

Nicely taken Trev.

Aren't these almost considered a native species now?
