Mallard 綠頭鴨 (female)
Jiuzhaigou 九寨溝
27/9/2004
1DMK2, EF70-200/f2.8IS@200mm
Although there were "people mountain people sea" at Jiuzhaigou, this female Mallard was seen standing quietly on a branch just at the lake edge to clean its feather.

very beautiful waters like painted glasss in turquoise blue. The mallard seems a bit sleepy.

I was also at Jiu Zhai Gou and Huang Long between 19-21.9.2004. It was as crowded as the area in front of Sogo of Causeway Bay but the scenary was really good. I also saw one female Mallard (may or may not be the same one posted by Forrest) together with some Plumbeous Rdestarts at Wu Hua Hai (五花海). 
White-Capped Redstarts and other birds which I cannot recognised were also seen at Huang Long and 神仙池. No photos were taken as I am not an experienced birder nor a photographer. Looking forward to see more photos from Forrest.

Forrest,
To my mind this is the nicest photo posted on the BBS for a long time.
I know KK at his bird photograghy lecture said " never place the bird in the centre of the frame" but in this particular photo the framing is ideal and very pleasant to the eye.

Bob,
I also said that what makes up a good photo is when the photographer thinks it's good ... 
I specially would like to see the beautiful upper wing patterns and colors of a Mallard!
