Mandarin Duck

I went to the Botanic Gardens today with the intention of shooting a squirrel for my PAD.
The squirrels are so tame there that it's like shooting fish in a barrel so I got loads of cute photos.
Then I saw this guy!
One of a handful of Mandarin Ducks that can be found in Dublin's parks.
Sorry squirrels - you're just too grey!

I've never seen anything like this before; I thought it was a toy at first.

Wow, what a beauty, and you got a great shot of him. Definitely preferable to squirrels, despite the fact that they're cute. V.
