		Females are fl-brown in colour, with light brown streaks, fl tail and fl specks on the throat and chin.

	Pacific Black Duck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Pacific Black Duck, Anas superciliosa, is a dabbling duck found in much of Indonesia, New Guinea, Australia, New Zealand, and many islands in the southwestern Pacific, reaching to the Caroline Islands in the north and French Polynesia in the east.
		This sociable duck is found in a variety of wetland habitats, and its nesting habits are much like those of the Mallard, which is encroaching on its range in New Zealand.
		The now-extinct Mariana Mallard was probably originally derived from hybrids between this species and the mallard, which came to the islands during migration and settled down there.

	Ban Duck & Quail Hunting
		August 10 2005 was a great day for Queensland’s native ducks and quails as The Premier and Environment Minister jointly announced that no reinstatement of the Duck and Quail Management Plan would take place when the current Plan expires on September 1 2005.
		It is claimed that this kit will assist the shooter to pass a ‘duck identification test’ prior to the issue of a recreational wildlife harvesting licence.
		Shooting was therefore conducted under 'ideal conditions' as the gun was completely steady, perfectly aimed and the sled with the ducks moved across the line of fire at a constant speed.

		The White-headed Duck Oxyura leucocephala is a globally endangered species with an estimated world population of less than 15,000 individuals (BirdLife International 2000).
		The risk to the White‑headed Duck from Ruddy Ducks has arisen because the two species hybridise readily, with the Ruddy Duck possessing the competitive edge ‑ they are more aggressive and are less demanding in their ecological requirements.
		The Mallard is now the dominant waterbird in the wetlands of the agricultural environment of mainland New Zealand, a niche that would have probably been utilised by Grey Ducks in the absence of Mallard (Gillespie 1985).
