@TheMERL @britishmuseum #FirstDayQuack
I definitely have to mention Dapper Drake. 🦆 The first duck appearing in #Ubuntu's release history 🙂.

It's not our #FirstDayBack - we came back last week, but that doesn't stop us joining @TheMERL to celebrate #FirstDayQuack with our three legged duck. Can't think of a more quackers way to start the new year ... 🦆🦆🦆
@TheMERL @britishmuseum Here is the Dusky and Spotted duck within the title: 'A natural history of uncommon birds' from @TheJohnRylands @TableyHouse book collection! #FirstDayQuack #InternationalSolicitedDuckPicDay 🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆 https://t.co/Wu898K25PH
For #FirstDayQuack, The Natural History of the British Surface-feeding Ducks by John G. Millais.
A hunter, naturalist, artist & writer, Millais travelled extensively collecting specimens and recording the birds he observed. #InternationalSolicitedDuckPicDay #FirstDayBack 🦆
It may be the #FirstDayBack for many, but @TheMERL have declared it #FirstDayQuack and we're running with it.
Here's one of our favs: a Mandarin duck (Aix galericulata) painted by Sarah Stone in 1788.
