Reminds me of my friend when he moved to the Netherlands a few years ago.  On his way from work back home he passed a scene where a duck got stuck in a dam/pond in the ice.  The ice was too thin to walk on and people were throwing rocks and stuff to try break the ice so the duck could escape.  My friend being the good man he is decided to hop in and try and do his bit, so he picked a rock and with the first throw hit the duck on the head .... dead.  "Oh well!" he says, "At least the poor bugger is put out of his misery".  Folks weren't too happy with him.

Those are Mallards, not indigenous to Southern Africa and invasive. They were brought here as decorative duck and have gone feral.To make matters worse they interbreed with our own Yellowbilled ducks and the hybrids are then fertile and can procreate. Potentially the introduction of Mallard genes can lead to the destruction of at least one indigenous species. They are good eating and I would seriously encourage you to try out that recipe! You will be doing our biodiversity a whole lot of good!  

 

Edit: Looking a little more closely, I think those are hybrids already!

Rummaging through some family photos today I find this coolest of cool photos! Nothing written on it so no idea when, where or who is in it ... Sadly both my parents have passed on so can't ask them, will have coffee with my uncle next week and see if he recognises anyone ...09fda53ddf5419f3cb7a5e93e1dcf0a6.jpg

And they are the main culprits in carrying the dreaded bird flu as well.
