Photographer’s Note

While walking in the Ferriere park I saw this beautiful duck on the pond. As he was with a Mandarin duck, first of all I though it was the female... But while searching for Mandarin ducks on the web I realised I made a big mistake, it's not the Mandarin female. So I searched for this duck (thank you Google) and I found it's a kind of cousin of the Mandarin Duck (Aix galericulata). It's a Wood Duck (Aix sponsa) and this one is a male.
