Yellow-Billed Duck

This African dabbling duck frequents freshwater wetlands, slow rivers and farm dams, where it feeds by dabbling and up-ending in shallow water for aquatic plants and invertebrates, often alongside other duck species. Its bright yellow bill with a dark saddle marking is the most reliable feature at a distance, distinguishing it from similar-looking ducks on the same water. It can be found year-round across much of sub-Saharan and southern Africa, with early morning the best time to see feeding activity before other water users arrive.
