Tufted Duck |
First reported on 28 November 2004 at Strandfontein Waste Water Treatment Works in the Western Cape. The bird was photographed on 12 December 2004. A single bird has returned to the Western Cape mixed in with Southern Pochards for the last 5 years and was first found at this site on 18 July 1999. Initially, this bird was thought to definitely be an escapee, but now there are a number of people who are beginning to believe that it may well be a genuine vagrant. |
