In this pochard family there are two fulvous whistling-duck chicks. The Fulvous Whistling-Duck may dump eggs in other birds' nests of its same species or not. This is not the first time we witness this event. There is a previous record of December 2009. On that occasion also a Rosy-billed Pochard was seen with a Fulvous Whistling-Duck chick among her ducklings.
Impressive number of ducklings in this family. fourteen, though there could be more. The rosy-billed pochard may lay 16 eggs or more. Many pochards have bred in the reserve, but this is the first time we can see such a number of chicks.
Several young male rosy-billed pochards can be seen in the pond. If one pays attention we'll see they are in different stages to become male adults. The bill is rosier and the head and neck are darker. And this individual has a wounded wing.
This juvenile male is turning black. The bill is rosy and the eye red
