Mandarin Ducks

entry picture
The boys put on the greatest show
by the village lake today
The girls are just as beautiful
in an understated way
 
I always think mandarin ducks
belong in lands faraway
It’s such a treat to have them here
to brighten up our day

Julie, you're right. Female ducks have a subtly beautiful colouring.
