England, Arundel Duck I.D. (1 Viewer)

[BirdsOfEurope]

When I was in Arundel there was a lake and there was only one kind of this bird. Please reply if you know what kind of duck this is.

Tomasz, 11 (My dad's account.)

Looks like a female Mandarin to me

Thank you very much.

Agree Mandarin Duck, but it has a red bill, so is an eclipse plumage male, rather than a female.
Also only one wing, so it's a captive bird :-C

I think it might of escaped though because it looked trouble free.

Just looked at the pic again, it does have both wings, my error above!

My mistake with female - eclipses always get me !
