A few days away in the Yorkshire dales visiting Skipton ,Ilkley and Otley was supposed to be a chill-out holiday not a birding holiday,but you know how it is you always put a bit of gear in just in case!! and indeed on a slow walk along the river Wharfe into Ilkley for lunch I spotted this Duck on the far side of the river which turned out to be a very nice male Mandarin always nice to see and very colourful.The following day the weather was going to be kind so we decided to visit a park on the outskirts of Otley called Golden Acre Park and what a surprise this place was a haven for Mandarin Ducks here's a few pics.
All in all a very colourful day with many males and females with young, now I know where the one on the river came from ?.
Thanks for looking
STAY SAFE
Joe.
