Red-billed Duck

Anas erythrorhyncha

The Red-billed Duck, scientifically known as Anas erythrorhyncha, is a species of dabbling duck found in sub-Saharan Africa. It is characterized by its striking red bill, which contrasts with its predominantly dark plumage. These ducks are often found in freshwater habitats such as lakes, marshes, and rivers, where they feed on aquatic plants, seeds, and small invertebrates. They are known for their distinctive whistling calls and are often seen in small flocks. The Red-billed Duck is not currently considered to be at risk, and its populations are generally stable across its range.
