Avian fireworks .....

[Andreas Liedmann]

Hi all ... hope this tight enough for this month theme .
If not .... the mods can remove the prefix and it will go into normal account .

This Mandarin drake was captured at local ground in my town . One of the long term invaders , once a refugee from a collection . This species is not so successful as other avian invaders i.e. Egyptian or Canadian Goose .... who became a " pest " over the decades and need to be controlled by the government . Not allowed to be shot , just remove the eggs if they are found .
