A male Mandarin Duck was found in a fish pond in Tai Sang Wai today (09Mar08). It was swimming initially but it flied to the edge of the pond after seeing us. I walked towards to duck along the edge where some longan trees could hide me quite well. I managed to take some pics of it but the quality is very bad. It then flied to the far side of the fish pond once spotting me taking pics.
I have no experience on judging the origin of birds. I'm sorry that we couldn't see its legs very well if there is any thread tying them. May some experts help for identifying please?
The location of the bird is around here:
