Hottentot Teal
Gevlekte Eend
Anas hottentota

Habitat: Quiet inland waters with emergent and surface vegetation, vleis, marshes, sewage ponds and floodplains
Food: Seeds, fruits, crustaceans, insects, detritus in mud and molluscs in Natal (up to 95% of their diet in winter)
Habits: Quiet and unobstructive, in pairs or in small groups. Often sits quietly on water near overhanging plants or loafs on shoreline. Takes off reluctantly; flies with body at slightly upward angle and head characteristically raised until fully airborne. Forages by filter feeding with bill or head immersed and by up-ending.
