Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme #JKLMNOP, any bird that has one of those letters as the first letter of its name (or second word in its name) and the #PacificBlackDuck qualifies with a P (and a bevy of adorable ducklings)!

A close up photograph of a Pacific Black Duck standing on dry, sandy earth, facing slightly right and looking down. The duck has mottled brown and black plumage and a distinct, iridescent blue green speculum (patch of feathers) visible on its wing.
A quiet moment with a Pacific Black Duck, showing off its beautiful markings.

Sacred kingfisher at its nest, a hole in an a large old termite nest made of mud. In the large tree hollow is a nesting Pacific black duck. Photos taken in the Heinemann Road Conservation Area, Mount Cotton. #birdphotography #Queensland #sacredkingfisher #pacificblackduck
A couple of different birds from Macquarie campus recently. These are the first photos I took with my new camera and to say I’ve been enjoying it is an understatement.

Say hello to the Pacific Black Duck! 🦆✨ With its striking face stripes & blue-grey bill, this Aussie native is a pro at dabbling for food. 🍃💦 They can even hybridise with Mallards! Ever spotted one? #PacificBlackDuck #WildlifePhotography #Birdwatching #AustralianBirds #DuckLife
Spotted this stunning Pacific Black Duck gliding through the water! Its distinctive black eye stripe and beautifully patterned feathers make it one of Australia’s most recognisable native ducks.

🦆 What’s in this duck’s beak?
This Pacific Black Duck has something caught in its beak—possibly a strand of aquatic weed, but it could also be plastic. Either way, it reminds us how easily litter can end up in our waterways.

I spotted this duck in our neighbourhood wetlands recently. I'm uncertain about its species—could it be a crossbreed of a Pacific Black Duck and a Mallard? What are your thoughts? #WildlifeWatch #DuckMystery #Mallard #PacificBlackDuck #birds
