Rare duck sighting in Andasibe Our guide in Andasibe froze when she saw this duck in the water, in her 15 years of daily walks around the national park she never seen one. As you can see, I was too late capturing it well. Note that this duck in itself is not rare, seeing it here appearantly is rare.

The Red-billed Teal

The Red-billed Teal, ''Anas erythrorhyncha'', is a dabbling duck which is an abundant resident breeder in southern and eastern Africa typically south of 10° S. This duck is not migratory, but will fly great distances to find suitable waters. It is highly gregarious outside the breeding season and forms large flocks.
