I noticed this duck amongst the Pacific Blacks and it looked to me as though it might be an albino. Thoughts please, as I've never seen anything like this one before.

This is the colouring on a normal Pacific Black duck. A lot darker (fawn colour) and the beak is green/grey.

You did notice that I was laughing didn't you Isac.
Looks to be an immature specimen, but definitely on the light side. Hopefully he will stick around and you can get more shots of him.

Hi Phil, I've posted a normal Pacific Duck so you can see the difference.
