Spotted
The Red-billed Teal is a medium-sized dabbling duck widespread across Africa, easily identified by its striking bright red bill, dark cap, and pale cheeks. It is often found in large, mixed-species flocks.
Where to spot
Widespread across sub-Saharan Africa. It favors freshwater wetlands, including swamps, marshes, dams, temporary pans, and flooded grasslands.
How to spot
Look for its striking bright red bill, contrasting with a dark brown cap and pale, almost white, cheeks. The body is mottled brown, and it has a noticeable buff or pale patch at the base of the tail, especially visible when standing.
When to spot
Year-round resident throughout its range, though local movements are influenced by water levels and food availability. It is a common sight in suitable habitats.
