My wife and I visited Isabella Plantation at Richmond Park near London, UK recently to see the azaleas and rhododendrons in full bloom. I took some pictures of the ducks at one of the ponds and showed them to my son who complied and posted them in his blog with his commentaries - a father-son collaborative effort (smile).

Some great image, Gary.

I really like that "checking yourself out" one! It is so crisp and clear! Not to mention, I haven't seen a duck like that!
Looks like an amazing place.

Anne:
These are Mandarin ducks. A pair of these is shown in 'making new friend'. Incidentally, the male are more pretty (smile) than the female.
