Super particular duck! Never seen before this kind. My wonderful colours!! Just a pity because a little tail part is missing!

I have never seen this bird in my life. Actually, if I could ever seen it, I wouldn't think it's real - so much colours. I can not describe by words, how much it is lovely. Great Lynn! Keep up the best work.

Hi Poppy, Love your photos! The Roses you asked about are mine. They are a lot of work but well worth the effort. :-)

said foxden6915 2006.07.17 at 22:06:08 PDT

Hey Poppy, it's like he/she was sitting in front of me and I could almost touch it. This is certainly a great capture, a rare and awesome photo. Thanks for being a friend and your comments on my albums. Have a great day.

I love ducks but we don't get this sort around Canberra, but I wish we did.

said shortshooter 2006.07.28 at 19:22:36 PDT

The colors are beautiful!!!! Nicole

said besch105100 2006.08.18 at 23:05:18 PDT

I'm confused, the page where this shot is posted, has photos of totally different birds, they are calling "Mandarin ducks".

said joes246 2006.08.23 at 05:40:10 PDT

This is a really amazing photo and it sounds like you were lucky to get it.congrats on a very colorful bird and photo

Great mandarin duck love them, I have four myself.

said rosegray00 2006.11.21 at 19:37:10 PST

Hi Poppy, Iread the abreviated caption and was going to tell you that this was a Mandarin Duck but I see that you already know that. Hopefully he was recaptured and returned to the safer environment of the zoo. Mike
