Mallard Ducks have been introduced to Australia and apparently interbreed with the native Pacific Black Ducks.

I've finally caught up with our "local duck family", which neighbours had mentioned several times to me. These are Wood Ducks, common to much of Australia and nesting in the nearby park. They originally had seven chicks, but predators such as feral cats and foxes have reduced the family to five, all being closely monitored. See also the PiP. Best viewed large.

Taken on the Coal River at Richmond, Tasmania. This white goose apparently had adopted the duck and its ducklings and was acting as 'guardian' for them. SMC Pentax M 1:1.4 50mm
