Mandarin Duck, Arrow Park Lake 7th January 2021


A visit to Arrow Park proved fruitful earlier today. There were five pairs of Mandarin Ducks on the lake. Rather conveniently, a couple clambered down to the edge of the lake opposite me to feed the ducks. Their offerings of bread brought most of the varied population of ducks out into the open water. Most of the Mandarins had been partially hidden in the dense thicket at the edge of the water until this moment. Other birds seen in a wander around the park included Nuthatch, Greater Spotted Woodpecker, Long-tailed Tit, Bullfinch, Jay, Kestrel & Sparrowhawk.
