Whistling Ducks belong to another family of Dendrocygnidae, but it is easier to group this whole lot under the family of Anatidae.
Ducks are very common birds in countries
which has strong conservation's guidelines. They are easily seen in ponds of
public parks and in good numbers too. Here sadly in Malaysia, Ducks are treated like
wild fowls. Fair games for collectors. Not surprising that whatever ducks that
we have only select
very remote spots. There they too keeping high vigilance for approaching human.
In real life, they are hardly
spotted at all. The best way to get to seeing them would be depending on tip off
of their last seen whereabouts. Then at that spot exercise patient stalking
for their appearances |

When these winter visitors were around news spread like wildfires
of their
availability but without the mention of the locations where that single bird
could be seen. Left to those birds watchers who
are familiar with the various birding locations in the country, the probable
habitats within that area. So often I could guess. I am among many to
travel those distances of that couple of hundred kilometres trip. Just to get some pictures of the duck Again, most times in
some distances away from the edge of the huge pond
