A pair of rare mandarin ducks – the adult male in bright plaumage – do as nature intended.

~~Delicious lightly brushed with soy sauce and fried in peanut oil~~.

The cosmic ballet continues.

Yesterday: Swan War

UPDATE:

Further to your current swan scheisse, spotted this entirely normal sign in Santry over the weekend. There was still one swan lurking around and (s)he seemed fairly pissed off with life. So was either not touched up enough, or touched up too much. It’s a delicate balance.

Molly Malone (arrowed) meets her siblings this afternoon

Further to orphan duck Molly Malone’s travails from earlier.

Some good news, some sad news.

Dublin SPCA writes:

As you may have read earlier we have a lone duckling (Molly) in the shelter since yesterday. This morning having received a call from the public our inspectors went out to a building site looking for the rest of Molly’s family. Unfortunately when they got there only three of the ducklings and the mammy were left. The inspectors managed to catch the three ducklings but sadly mammy flew away. It is never ideal to raise ducklings without their mother but in this case there was just no choice as they would not have survived if left on the site.
