Pacific Black Ducks

 On lakes and on dams  and every waterway
Whilst out walking birds one does see every day
In town parks lakes near tame and quite a common sight 
They allow you get quite close to them before taking to flight
Dark mottled brown the male and female look much the same
Pacific black ducks for them their common name
Some of their time out of water by them spent
And as dabbling ducks shallow lakes and dams they frequent
In high grass in grass nest or reeds near water the female duck lay 
Eight to ten pale eggs from sight well hidden away
Wild ducks of town parks or of the countryside
Pacific black ducks in Australia are known far and wide
From water they are never that far away
And people out walking see them every day.
