The Ruddy Shelduck is a widely distributed large waterbird belonging to the shelduck genus in the Anatidae family of the Anseriformes order. Body length measures about 58–70 cm, with a body shape resembling a small goose. It ranges widely from southeastern Europe to central Asia, and northwestern Africa. Prefers open freshwater wetlands such as highland lakes, lowland rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and marshes, occasionally seen in farmlands or man-made water bodies.

​Occurs mainly in pairs or small flocks, with clear migratory habits, moving south in winter. In Hong Kong, it is a rare winter visitor. Omnivorous, primarily feeding on aquatic plants, grass seeds, and tender leaves, supplemented by insects and mollusks. Breeding season is mainly late spring to early summer, with nests selected in ground burrows, bank cavities, tree hollows, or building crevices.
