Camera Critters

These were taken during our visit to Chinese Garden in Darling Harbour. The duck tried his luck against those big Koi to grab pieces of bread that were thrown to the water. There were no other ducks except himself to compete with but underneath the water were big hungry mouths of the Koi. We saw that despite all of those competitors, he was still able to grab few pieces, otherwise he won't stay there waiting and fighting for food. This duck is called a Pacific Black Duck, the most familiar and common of all native ducks to Australians.

That duck is adorable, it really contrasts beautifully with the vibrant koi. I'm so glad he got some food too.

I know some ducks will eat small Koi, but the Koi in this pond look pretty big. Fascinating photos.
