Mandarin duck, Etherow Country Park 

The pouring rain of the morning persuaded me against any jolly jaunts out and I caught up with my sleep. The sun came out at lunchtime to gull the unwary. I went over to Etherow Country Park to take photos of mandarin ducks in the rain. You don't realise how bad the light is until you see the shutter speeds your camera chooses for the scene.

Don't think I didn't check out all the tufted ducks on the lake to make sure they were all tufties.
