Description
And as I took pic of the wallaby I notice on the left there is like a swamp water and little Pacific duck family is doing some fishing there. How cute, seen so many Pacific Black ducks but never seen the cygnets before. So it was very exciting !
The Pacific Black Duck is mainly vegetarian, feeding on seeds of aquatic plants. This diet is supplemented with small crustaceans, molluscs and aquatic insects. Food is obtained by 'dabbling', where the bird plunges its head and neck underwater and upends, raising its rear end vertically out of the water. Occasionally, food is sought on land in damp grassy areas.
Taken at Ku ring gai chase nation park, at The Basin, Sydney north.
