Small but mighty — the Cotton Pygmy Goose, India’s tiniest waterfowl, glides effortlessly across the stillness. Some of the best things come in small packages. 🤍🦆💎

This is a Cotton Pygmy Goose (Nettapus coromandelianus) — specifically a male, identifiable by:

• Striking white head and face
• Dark crown and eye patch
• Dark collar visible around the neck
• Dark upperparts contrasting with pale underparts
• The tiny, compact size sits low on the water

One of India’s most charming and dainty waterfowl!
