Journal Title: Journal of Biodiversity and Environmental Sciences (JBES) - Year 2016, Vol 9, Issue 2
Abstract
We present the first data about the reproductive biology of the Ruddy Shelduck (Tadorna ferruginea) at Oued Righ valley in the South-east of Algeria. During the period 2009-2011; successful nesting was recorded at most sites of the wetland complex for the first time in this region. Information on its reproduction concern observations and censuses pairs with chicks. We also investigated nest site selection and measured breeding parameters. This study is to contribute to knowledge the reproduction of this bird.
