Is this unusual for a PBD?

This pacific black duck flew in this morning, but I notice that it has some bloches on its body. Are these a sign of illness, or old wounds, or is it just a bad feather day? Thanks.

Looks like some sort of wound that has healed?

I was wondering if the hunting permitted in NSW and Victoria might help explain the marks.Hunting is generally not allowed in Qld.
