Welcome Back The Mandarin Ducks

So happy to see a group of this little mandarin ducks still active at the river Po, was a bit worry not seeing them around last year. Being the more beautiful and smaller ducks, they are often being bully by the bigger birds such as the gullls. Once I saw a gull was chasing after one of this beautiful creature, almost made me wanted to throw a stone to send the gull away.

Hope these mandarin ducks would stay well and reproduce more on this side of river Po, they bring such joy to the view of the river.
