Mandarin Duck #72

Thankfully Mum says she is feeling much better this morning, although I'm still not convinced that she wouldn't benefit from a visit to the doctor. But what can you do?!
After taking my husband to the airport and doing some shopping for Mum, I popped over to the flash for a walk as it was such a lovely sunny day. 
Not much about again, but I walked up by the canal for a while which I don't normally do, and came across this mandarin duck looking particularly handsome in the afternoon light. He was very busy having a bath and preening himself trying to make himself look even more gorgeous.
