Why it matters
The Indian Spot-billed Duck is a distinctive resident of South Asia, recognizable by the bright yellow tip on its bill and the metallic green speculum on its broad, powerful wings. Unlike many migratory species, these birds are largely sedentary and are frequently observed in small groups foraging in shallow wetlands, where their rounded tails and social nature make them a classic sight for observers of the region’s diverse waterfowl.
