Another "guest" coming to our river "Main" at the end of our street. This is I believe a mandarin duck (Mandarin from China not the fruit), it comes here only for a couple of days & then disappears... was very lucky that day!

Thanks for your valuable tips and/or constructive input!!

It looks so plastic. Is this really real?

@Shuva Brata Deb: Yes... I can assure everyone that this is real, no wooden toy! Isn´t it amazing what nature can achieve?

WOW...so many colors and so many designs. If it is really real, then God must have tried all his coloring options on this lovely duck. Finally you captured it very well. Thanks for introducing such a beautiful guest to us..
