Pacific Black Duck, on a stick

I went for a walk through the mangroves at high tide today, and spotted this almost silhouetted duck on a stick.

    Thanks again Maria :) It was high tide, so there was plenty of water about, but usually when I walk through here the tide is out and it's all mud and mangrove roots.

    do they come in other flavours too ?

    I believe you can also get them in Crow flavoured (not recommended) and Helen had a different flavour duck-on-a-stick at some stage too! ;-)

    I love the way you can see its head and yet the rest is quite dark, do gargoyles eat these too ? I seem to remember a comment bout that

    With a nice bright monitor you can see the feathers too, but the silhouette effect is pretty neat :)

    As for gargoyles, I think they prefer pigeons actually, but seagulls will do in a pinch.
