Well, I don’t suppose you remember the last time ducks visited my place of work..?  We had chicks!! Anyways - It turns out the ducks are back, only this time, we have two pairs of Mallards!  Trouble is, a foreigner has come over this time to cause a bit of trouble and strife!

Clint Eastwood

As you can see, he is quite the character, he is VERY boystrous and fancies himself as a “ducks” duck!  Strutting his stuff, and picking fights with the male Mallards (at nearly twice his size) just to prove he’s got some balls courage!  I’ve decided to call him Clint Eastwood, he looks like a Clint don’t you think?

Ultimate Duck Magnet?

Despite his impressive displays the female duck in the background is having none of it, and quite frankly looks like she has seen it all before….perhaps this is an ex?  Who knows!

For those not in the know about ducks, Clint here is a Mandarin Duck, which is basically a fancy wood duck, and apparently now an endangered species! Albeit one of least concern; it get’s it’s name from it’s popularity in Asia, in China it is known as the Yin-Yan and is associated with love, affection and fidelity…

…From the way our Clint is behaving -”Infidelity” would be closer to the bill!

  1. Great pictures! Nothing this interesting where I work… except for when Leo (bundle of fur) turned up!
