There's been several sightings of a special duck the past week, that really doesn't fit into the regular crowd, so I had to try to get a photo of it. The Aix Galericulata, or the Mandarin Duck, is most common in Eastern Asia, South Korea and Japan. So it's safe to say that people with big lenses went straight to the latest spot where he was sighted!
It did take a few hours to find him, so I got plenty of practice with the other local birds 😂
