Avian Sighting - Mandarin Duck

Male above ...........Female below

Last weekend I visited Janda Baik  outback and the many homestay and village resort I was hoping to see the  rare Asian Emerald Cuckoo or its like at the many fruit farm there. I ended in Bidai Sari Resort where they have some open range ponds where they keep a collection of ducks . There  are 2 pair of Mandarin duck which you can shot in full frame in open enclosure. I think you can also see it in Perdana Bird Park KL.

It is a bird of South East Asia and recorded as a vagrant in Central Thailand but  very unlikely to see in the wild in Malaysia except in  captivity reared by private individual for its beauty......
