Mandarin Ducks, Trent Country Park

Back to reality today. Went up to Trent Country Park in North London to photograph the Mandarin Ducks in the wooded pools. These birds are wild and easily spooked, as demonstrated by those who threw sticks at them, let their dogs attempt to maul them, and the angler who deliberately cast right in front of me, causing a group of c20 birds to evacuate their riparian cover and take to the sky!
