Mallard ducks have disappeared

I am not alone in noticing that recently many Mallard ducks, particularly females and ducklings, have disappeared around the waterfront areas of Woy Woy and surrounding streets.

Various inquiries have not elicited any explanation for their disappearance.

Council is emphatic it has no knowledge of this matter.

It would be good to know if the ducks were culled or otherwise removed and if so, why?

For many people they are part of the fabric of the area, while others I understand see them as a barrier to the resurgence of native duck species.
