I don't get to see these up here, but have done on some visits to the south. I've never seen one with those orange "sails" erected!!! Looks like he's about to sail away into the sunset, doesn't it LOL

Thanks for showing us this Mandarin Chris.

Being this beautiful you would have every pair of eyes that could see you staring with their mouths open. A treat to see Chris. Three fabulous Mandarin Duck posts today! TFS!
