Parrotsandrew 2 Oct 2014 Could this be on of this year's ducklings, or do they not get adult plumage this quickly? Thank-you in advance.

P P Pertinax 2 Oct 2014 I believe they acquire adult plumage in their first autumn, but await FBBird's confirmation....or otherwise.

FBBird 2 Oct 2014 A question for FBBird Mandarin drakes colour up in their first autumn, so no way of knowing if this is this year's bird or an adult.

Parrotsandrew 2 Oct 2014 Thank-you. There are several drakes in full colour, so I had wondered whether the fact that this one was a bit behind them had any significance.
