Asarcornis scutulata
The White-winged Duck (Asarcornis scutulata) is one of the world's rarest and most elusive waterfowl species. Often referred to as a 'forest duck,' this bird is primarily nocturnal and inhabits secluded wetlands within dense tropical forests. Due to its declining population and secretive nature, it remains a high-priority species for ornithologists and conservationists globally.
