April 11.

Pacific Black Duck with
damaged bill
Went looking for the little Grebe today and saw this poor duck.
He was diving and eating well, so I guess he has become used to his
smashed bill. He wasn't at all shy or nervous. The Grebe was just as cheeky as before :-)

Nice shot of this duck. Looks healthy enough.
Grebes are my favorites, because they are not so shy with the camera.

The second image shows the injury more clearly. He's met a bus or a brick wall it seems.

Ouch.. Another difficulty to work around. good capture

reminds me of an old joke...... what 70s pop star do you get if you put a duck in the microwave ?........ Bill Withers of course.
