American Black Duck
Photo: Mick Byrne (Panasonic DMC-TZ100)
Ive never seen one this colour Mick, well spotted.
Mick: This is no normal duck, it’s a M & S duck on offer with all the trimmings.
Mick: It’s plumage is fantastic, never seen one like this, good photo.
I love the blue plumage. Beautiful bird.
Google suggests a Cayuga duck. Almost certainly escaped from a private collection. Big ducks don't tend to fly across the Atlantic.
Another illegal to come to our shores...I'm sure it will be welcome in Wigan Park though..lovely colours.
Soon to be spotted in Rwanda then?
Could it not be the result of a Cormorant and a Mallard having it off
Looks very trendy with its blue rinse, how did you know it's an American duck Mick, was it quacking with a southern drawl.
Very good photo, were did you spot this Mick?
One of your better ones, Mick, I wonder if it comes from a council estate?
Nah its just bin int cut at New Springs
Syd Smith: I wouldn’t have thought a cormorant and a duck could as you put it have it off, the duck I should imagine is a male, bird’s ornate feathers generally are male, it’s the female that are plain plumage.
That's not an American Black Duck, it's a black Pomeranian.
