Hard to believe that these are photos of the same bird just four months apart! The photo below is how this mandarin looked in full breeding plumage at the beginning of April, whilst the photo above is the bird today in eclipse. You can clearly see the purple ring on its left leg in both photos. Today's bird was off the car park at Pennington Flash whilst back back in April I photographed it at Plank Lane marina.
Also today, two common sandpipers at the boat club, and just two common terns.
