The Common Shelduck resembles a small short-necked goose in size and shape.

Almost all of the Common Shelduck and shorebirds that used the bay when mud was exposed no longer feed there.

It is almost the whole Common Shelduck colony in North Western Europe.

The gooselike Common Shelduck is a striking bird with its red bill, white and chestnut body, dark green head and neck.

They have even been proposed to be referable to the Common Shelduck, but their Early Pliocene age makes this rather unlikely.

Near the former ape house, Asian waterfowl, such as red-crowned crane, Mandarin duck, and common shelduck can be viewed in a wetlands exhibit.

Three bird species occur in internationally-important numbers: Common Shelduck, Pied Avocet and Black-tailed Godwit.

The 'Common Shelduck' ('Tadorna tadorna') is a widespread and common duck of the Genus shelduck.

The Common Shelduck (Tadorna tadorna) is a waterfowl species shelduck genus Tadorna.

Many penguins form crèches, in addition to many other birds such as the Canada Goose, Common Eider and Common Shelduck.

Among the birds that nest the winter in Akyatan, pochard, Eurasian wigeon, Common shelduck, Eurasian coot form large flocks besides the endangered White-headed duck.

The Common Shelduck is common around the coastline of Great Britain (where it is simply known as Shelduck), where it frequents salt marshes and estuaries.

The inner Forth hosts populations of Common Shelduck, Red Knot, Common Redshank, Great Crested Grebe, Eurasian Teal and Common Goldeneye.

Balcanas pliocaenica, a waterfowl described from fragmentary remains, may be a distinct and extinct lineage, the first record of the still-living Common Shelduck (Tadorna tadorna), or from a more ancestral shelduck.

The island is a stopping place for many migrating birds, including the Herring Gull, Great Black-backed Gull, Common Shelduck, Little Egret, Eider, Wigeon, Yellow-legged Gull.

Common Eider, Common Shelduck, Arctic Tern, Common Tern, Little Tern, Kentish Plover and Ringed Plover nest on the island.

The Common Tern, Arctic Tern, Common Eider, Common Shelduck, Eurasian Oystercatcher, Common Redshank, and occasionally the Short-eared Owl also breed on the island.

The site also regularly supports nationally important numbers of Common Shelduck, Eurasian Oystercatcher, Purple Sandpiper, Dunlin, Black-tailed Godwit, Bar-tailed Godwit, Eurasian Curlew and Ruddy Turnstone.

The nature reserve in this embayment is internationally important for Pink-footed Geese, Red Knot and Common Redshank and is nationally important for Common Shelduck, Wigeon and Common Eider Ducks.

Birds that use to hatch on Sylt include Black-headed Gull, Arctic Tern, Pied Avocet, Common Redshank, Common Gull, Oystercatcher, Northern Lapwing, Common Shelduck and Tufted Duck.

This group is largely tropical or Southern Hemisphere in distribution, with only two species, the Common Shelduck and the Ruddy Shelduck breeding in northern temperate regions, though the Crested Shelduck (presumed extinct) was also a northern species.

Winter visitors include Ruddy Shelduck, Common Shelduck, Gadwall, Eurasian Wigeon, Northern Shoveler, Marbled Teal, Greater Flamingo, Common Coot, Pied Avocet, Grey Plover, and Slender-billed Curlew.

Between the river mouth and the River Witham, a large expanse of saltmarsh provides breeding grounds for common redshank, Eurasian oystercatcher and reed bunting in the summer, and Eurasian wigeon, mallard, common shelduck and common teal in the winter.

There are also migratory bird populations of international importance, including Pintail, Red Knot and Common Redshank and, regularly, over 20,000 wintering waterfowl, including Common Shelduck, Red-breasted mergansers, Eurasian Oystercatchers, Ringed Plover, Dunlin and Eurasian Curlew.

In the winter, the marshes hold Golden Plovers and wildfowl including Common Shelduck, Eurasian Wigeon, Brent Geese and Common Teal, while Common Scoters, Common Eiders, Common Goldeneyes and Red-breasted Mergansers swim offshore.
