Mandarin duck in splendid plumage

Mandarin duck, the colorful male

The Mandarin duck drake is particularly easy to recognize thanks to its magnificent and colourful plumage: it has a green-metallic crest, a chestnut-brown whisker and a very conspicuous white stripe above its eyes. The orange and large wing feathers are set up like sails and the head looks relatively large.

The goldfinch, as colorful as a clown

The goldfinch is the most colorful of the native finch species: it has a red face mask framed in white on the head and sides of the neck, a white rump and a broad yellow band that runs across the black wings. The strong seed-eating beak is long and pointed. This is particularly suitable for picking out seeds.
