| African Black Duck - Anas sparsa | Lynette Rudman | 2019-03-30 | Port Alfred, Western District, Eastern Cape, Bathurst (South Africa) (90 m) | call, female, male - Four birds seen swimming together and calling. There appeared to be two pairs and they would swim up to the mate and bob heads while calling. This took place in a deep pool in a sharp bend in a river surrounded by high cliffs in the early morning in autumn.
