It was a surprise sighting to see that this pair of Whistling Duck can have a dozen duckling. I believe they may be surrogate parents to other fledglings. Later we also sighted another pair of parents with about five duckling in another nearby canal in Sg Rambai. Looks like there is a bumper offspring here despite living amongst macaques and other predators like monitor lizards here.
Correction there were 15 of ducklings as countered by AT .
