Slim And The Mandarin



 Surprise visitor to the swans island today, a very beautiful and colourful male Mandarin duck. I know we have one or two farther up the river, but have never seen one this far down the riverside.



 Slim was intrigued by this newcomer, and kept following him up and down the Moat. 



The Mallards were unperturbed but Slim was really giving him the once over.



 Meanwhile, Disco and her flock are thriving on a diet of chick crumb starter, Dried mealworm and chopped lettuce...



 doubled in size in a week. short video below.
