This is an African Spoonbill (Platalea alba), easily recognised by its striking all-white plumage and that distinctive spoon-shaped bill. That unusual bill isn’t just for show, it’s perfectly adapted for sweeping through shallow water in search of small fish, insects, and crustaceans. The red skin around the eyes is quite prominent here, which is often more noticeable during the breeding season.

White-faced Whistling duck (Dendrocygna viduata). A distinctive duck with a bold black-and-white head, rich rufous breast, and finely barred flanks. Like other whistling-ducks, it has a long neck and legs, giving it a slightly goose-like profile. Typically found around freshwater marshes, lakes, and rice paddies. Often seen in sizeable flocks, sometimes in the hundreds. It’s fairly widespread across parts of South America and Africa, and it tends to feed mainly at night.
