Beautiful Colours on the Mandarin Duck, but unfortunately you seem to have the same problem I normally do when photographing ducks....they swim AWAY from you - they really shouldnt be camera shy!!!
And get down low. Seriously, they're nice enough, but they shout out loud that you were standing upright. You'll get much better shots (of any animal) the nearer you can get your lens to its eye level. So start bending those knees:-
Thanks for the comments. On that particular day that was as about as low as I could get to it as the duck pond is actually set down, and the only place that your level with the ducks is out of the water and he didn't wander that far. But definitely something I'll try when I'm out and about again.
