Luke’s Duck **UPDATED: Domestic Duck, Not Hybrid.

I usually overlook hybrids but have been trying to have a closer look because my friend Luke seems intrigued. I took these pics last Saturday.
When I first saw it, I thought it was a Mallard x Domestic Duck. It’s head is larger than the typical Mallards’ it hangs around.
Anyway, I usually search for the rare and dynamic, but if you study this individual, it’s kinda cute and happy. So what’s wrong with bit of a look?

What do you think of my trial watermark? Too big? Yeah, but I want it to look cool. Sometimes I’ve found my pics on other websites.

Some photos taken at the Toowoomba Japanese Gardens with a borrowed Nikon Coolpix S9100. I was a little frustrated with the focussing but I just took a lot of pics until I got them right. It’s a little super zoom and it was pretty handy carrying it in my pocket.
