A mandarin duck has become an online and New York celebrity after mysteriously appearing in Manhattan.
It all started on 10 October, when a video of the colourful bird was shared on Twitter by Manhattan Bird Alert.
The city's bird-watching community rushed to catch a glimpse of the mysterious visitor.
The species is native to east Asia, and many speculated it has escaped from a "private owner".
The account suggested the arrival had dethroned the wood duck as the "prettiest duck in the park".

This duck is so amazing. It looks colourful and beautiful.
This species of duck is definitely one of my favorites. It comes to Norway every once in a while as well, but I haven't been able to see it for myself just yet.
Indeed it is the prettiest duck!! How beautiful!!
