I had a visitor to my dam today.
It was a duck/drake? of very dark brown with a lighter stripe or two along side of face.
The beak was a bit lighter and longish. It had a distinctive quark not too loud. Very nice looking bird.
I couldn't find it in my bird book.
It was about the size of my little KC cross girl. Bigger than the normal wild ducks I get all the time.
I have never seen it before and I hope it returns.
I have had a pair of Grebes for a month or two but not for the last couple of days.

I think it sounds like a native black duck

It's a shame it hasn't been back. Are they migrating at the moment?

What a shame, it was a good size bird too. Would have liked to see it stick around.
