An
endangered white-winged duck was scheduled to be released into the wild
in Preah Vihear province yesterday, after being rescued earlier this
month.
In
a statement, the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) said the duck was
discovered by locals on December 3 next to a watering hole near Prey
Veng village.
The
bird, which was moulting and unable to fly, was fitted with an
identification ring and kept in an enclosure while it re-grew its
feathers.
