Teal - Anas crecca
Common and pretty dabbling ducks, teal gather in large numbers in winter on flooded gravel pits, reservoirs and floodplain meadows. Many of these birds are migrants from the cold climes of the Baltic and Siberia. In summer, teal breed in small numbers in the UK, mostly in the north.
The teal is our smallest duck. Males are grey, with a speckled breast, a yellow-and-black tail, a chestnut-coloured head and a bright green eye patch. Females are mainly mottled brown, but both sexes show a bright green wing patch in flight.
Nests in small numbers around the country, particularly in the uplands, but much more common in winter when it can be found on most wetlands.

Collectively, a group of teal is known as a 'spring' because of the way they can take-off suddenly and vertically, as if they have jumped straight off the ground!

A pair of Blue Teals gliding through the Everglades. These beautiful ducks are found throughout the states and spend their winters in the south. This was taken from about 200 yards.
I believe this is possibly a mix of Teals! Baikal and Eurasian. I’m sure someone will know. Abberton reservoir.
