Hiina laiknokk-part, Anas zonorhyncha

Hiina laiknokk-part pesistseb Jaapanis ja Venemaa Kaug-Idas ning talvitub Kagu-Aasias. Eraldi liigiks sai ta veidi üle 10 aasta tagasi, mil leiti, et tegemist pole lainokk-pardi alamliigiga, sest kuigi need kaks liiki pesitsevad samal ajal ning samas piirkonnas, siis omavahel nad praktiliselt ei segune. Minu kaamera ette jäi lind Taitungi parkmetsa järvesilmal, Taiwanis. 

Eastern Spot-billed Duck breeds in Japan and Russia's Far East and winters in South-East Asia. It became a separate species just over 10 years ago when it was found that it is not a subspecies of an Indian spot-billed duck as although they bred in the same region at the same time, mixed pairs were only very rarely observed. This photo was taken on a lakelet in Taitung Forest Park, Taiwan.
