Yellow-billed duck

I photographed this duck at a pond in Sedgefield, South Cape, South Africa. When people "get their ducks in a row" I have no doubt that this will be the duck at the front of the row.

African Spoonbill

The African Spoonbill has a long flattened spoon-shaped bill. It feeds by sweeping the bill from side to side in freshwater lakes, flood planes and estuaries. It stands about 90cm tall.
