Indian Spot-billed Duck

The spot-billed duck measures 55 to 63cm in length and 83 to 95cm across the wings, with a body mass of 790 to 1,500g. The northernmost populations have expanded their range northwards by more than 500km since the early twentieth century, possibly in reaction to global warming (Wikipedia, general species account).

It nests on the ground, hidden in vegetation near water, and lays 8 to 14 eggs. These figures are given for the spot-billed duck group in the source opened, and the account for the Indian form itself was not readable. No range, plumage or diet detail is therefore stated, and the entry is kept short.
