I arranged to meet up with fellow photographer and good friend Terry Bagley, he had informed me of a location to be able to photograph a bird that was high on my wish list the (Mandarin), I met up with Terry at the location, and set about capturing my first images of the Mandarin, it`s a bird with plumage that can only be described as incredibly colorful and vibrant, they really are such smart looking birds, and with only a brief window of opportunity weather wise, and with some reasonable light I was able to capture these images posted below.
