Mandarin duck
A pretty and distinctive little waterbird, the mandarin duck was introduced from the Far East as its name suggests. Oddly for a duck, it nests in trees, sometimes high above the water.

This comical little duck lives up to its name – look out for the black tuft of feathers on its head!
This dainty seaduck is a winter visitor to our coasts, particularly in northern and eastern Scotland.
