Another notable species is the Mallard, scientifically classified as Anas boschas, which is renowned for its widespread presence across various habitats. The Ruddy Sheldrake, also known as the Brahminy Duck, bears the scientific name Casarca rutila and adds to the colorful tapestry of avian life. Meanwhile, the White Faced Whistling Duck, identified as Dendrocygna viduata, showcases unique characteristics, as does the Common Eider, scientifically referred to as Somateria mollissima, known for its prevalence in certain regions.
