The Whistling Duck stands out amongst other ducks due to a few key ID features. It has an elegant appearance compromising of a slender neck, upright posture and long pink legs, boasting a light brown body with a fine black barring on the chest and long cream or golden plumes curving down the sides from the shoulders. With intelligent-looking yellow-orange eyes and grey bill with pinkish tones, these medium sized ducks (up to 60cm long) are impressive birdwatching specimens, although they can be elusive given their tendency to flee if feeling threatened.
