Probably, Eva 80% of all ducks in Britain are Mallards (Gus's duck) so you can imagine my surprise whe I found several Mandarins living in the wild in North west Lancashire.
Where the hell they came from I dont know but I did some serious birdwatching that day and they were nesting.
What a difference to our much less colourful birdlife the would make if they "took hold"
