Rare Marbled Duck Spotted
A rare marbled duck (Marmaronetta angustirostris) was spotted at Sultanpur National Park in Haryana, marking its first appearance there since 1990. This species, native to Europe and breeding in the Mediterranean and Iran, prefers shallow freshwater habitats. With its distinct grey-white feathers and large head, the duck has been rarely sighted in Delhi-NCR. Conservation efforts are essential as the species faces declining populations due to habitat loss. Sultanpur National Park, a Ramsar site, continues to play a vital role in supporting migratory birds and enhancing biodiversity.
