Highley colourful Mandarin

A walk downstream of Highley with Yvonne didn't take long to produce a pair of Mandarin. In total 4 males and 2 females were seen.

Setting the scene....



Have rock will pose!





And then once it was clear I posed no threat, time for a preen!



Taking the weight of ones feet (one by one)



And a stretch!



Homing in on another female across the river, they love these tangled branch laden habitats





Closer still!
