I do miss the duck

John Hale asks (Forum, edition 476), "where have all the ducklings gone?"

My guess is that these Mallard ducks have been culled by Council or Parks and Wildlife because they aren't native to Australia.

Many find them a nuisance, but they were a tourist attraction to visitors.

Alas, wild animals are always at risk, a fact of life, but I do miss the black and white duck.
