Beautiful Chatty Mandarin Duck at the Pond Large Christmas Stocking

Add a touch of whimsy and nature to festive year-end celebrations with this wildlife-themed Christmas stocking. Personalise with a name. Reverse (for double-sided option) shows identical design. Great for the bird or nature lover on your gift list! A presumed hobby farm escapee, this adult male Mandarin Duck has been seen in the company of the Wood Ducks of Piper Spit. He has called Burnaby Lake home since he was first spotted in 2018. His stunning pastiche of ruffs, dazzling colour palette, and "fins" make him such a dreamboat to photograph. Mother Nature left nothing to the artist's imagination when she made this creature! Photographed at Burnaby Lake in early March 2020. Based on the original photography of W.H. Sim.
