Yellow-billed Duck

Anas undulata Dubois, CF, 1838

Yellow-billed Duck, Anas undulata, is a duck in the Anatidae family and the order Anseriformes. It breeds across eastern, central and southern Africa. Outside the breeding period it gathers in large flocks, and in the dry season it moves around in search of water. It uses freshwater in open country, and it also appears, though rarely, in suburban places such as parks, golf courses, lakes and dams. The species nests on the ground in thick vegetation close to water, and the clutch contains six to twelve eggs.
