In the calm, reed-lined lakes and village ponds of the Indian subcontinent, this speckled wanderer drifts with easy familiarity. It feeds on aquatic plants, seeds, grains, and small invertebrates, dabbling gently along muddy edges and flooded fields. What makes it extraordinary is its quiet adaptability — thriving alongside human landscapes while helping maintain wetland health by stirring sediments and dispersing plant seeds. A modest silhouette on still water, yet a dependable guardian of everyday wetlands.
