A few days ago, on a bicycle tour, I passed a small pond on the shore of which a pair of mandarin ducks was relaxing. That meant: brake - park the bike and look for a good photo spot. I quickly found it. When I looked to the side, there on the trunk of a tree sat a beautiful wood duck! Both duck species are exotic in my region, so it was all the nicer to see them together here. I spent a long time at this pond and took a lot of pictures ;-).
