Male Mandarin Duck at Bude Canal
Hopefully this photo has brought a smile to your face during these increasingly troubled times. I was staying in Bude, Cornwall. Unfortunately the storms prevented my planned coastal walking so I headed inland along the canaI. It was a delight to spot 'Malcolm', the Mandarin Duck, so-called by the locals. Unfortunately he didn't appear to have a mate but seemed to enjoy the company of countless Mallard Ducks.
