Seen this afternoon while watching our local patch ,on the river Spey,a male Mandarin duck,could hardly believe our eyes. It was chasing one of the local mallards [female] ????.
 
Tickable or not - anything that spends too much time trying to make hybrids has probably not had a very natural upbringing. But it could be out of desparation, unable to find a female Mandarin Duck.
