Can you tell me if the bird in the large image is the same as in the small image. If so then the large image is of a genuine Pacific Black Duck not a hybrid. Chris

Can you open these Chris? One took off and the other didn't, John

Thanks John the one looks like a Pacific Black Duck to me. The other looks odd with a Black Duck body but white head. Or is it just the angle of the photo? I suggest the first image be submitted as a hybrid as you suggested and remove the second image. Alternatively the second image can be re-submitted as a Pacific Black Duck. Chris
