Re: VIC_WTP Werribee, Strange Shelduck

Hmmm ... The above stastement was fair enough until you get to the bit about Muscovy and Pekin.  These two ducks look nothing alike.  Pekins have a rather upright carriage while Muscovies are very low slung.  Check out http://www.domestic-waterfowl.co.uk/pekin.htm if you are interested.
