Bird Safari Entrance

Taken 8th August 2015
With Comb Ducks, Madagascar Teals, Fischer\'s Turacos, Plumed Whistling Ducks (signed as Eyton\'s Tree Ducks for whatever reason), White-faced Whistling Ducks (signed as tree ducks), Marbled Teal, Hammerkop, Von Der Decken\'s Hornbill, Garganey, Northern Bald Ibis, Abdim\'s Stork and Blue-bellied Roller.

Tree duck was a name given to Whistling ducks in the early days after a Black Bellied was seen perched/nesting in a tree and Subsequently all whistling ducks where named or given the description of being a tree duck.

Only a few species of Whistling duck actually nest in trees (can't remember which ones off the top of my head) I think it's about 4 species but please correct me if I'm wrong.

Some collections have reverted to calling Whistling ducks for some reason don't know why though.
