Hi All,

Seen in a park in Wagga Wagga No 1

No 2

I believe the second one is a greylag goose variety but the first one has me stumped.

Hi commish and amateur
Both domestic duck, #1 has a lot of Muscuvy and #2 I think may be Alsbury (both those spelling may be wrong)

Yes first is Muscovy and my guess for the second one was Indian runner but I'm no expert on domestic ducks. I do know that released/ escaped mallards can cause a problem by hybridising with native black ducks. I'm not sure if there are similar issues for other species such as these though.

Cheers,

Bourke

Thanks to you all for your replies. I was on my way back from the Jamboree at Cataract Park & we stopped at this park for the evening meal with bus loads of kids.

Just nice watching them & wonder what sort they were. When it come to birds don't know to many by their type. Over the years I have taken pic of different types of birds, but it was good to come across this web site.

Cheers
