| Description |
I was taking photos of this Shoveler but I didn't know what these other ducks were - I hadn't seen them before. So I asked at the Wildbase Recovery here in Palmerston North and they identified them as Grey Teal, a NZ native self-introduced from Australia. The thing that caught my attention was the unusual colour of their eyes. The grey teal is small, slim, ‘plain-faced’ duck, considerably smaller than a mallard or grey duck. It is mostly grey-brown in colour with pale cheeks, chin and throat. The eye is bright crimson, especially in adult males, and the bill is dark grey. Immature birds have a duller red eye. Wings are dark brown with the primaries darker brown, a broad green speculum on the secondaries, and a white stripe on the inner wing, just in front of the speculum. The underwing is off-white. Grey teal can be identified in flight by the white flash on the upperwing and the fast wing beat, although both are identical in the vagrant chestnut teal. <a href="https://nzbirdsonline.org.nz/species/grey-teal" rel="noreferrer nofollow">nzbirdsonline.org.nz/species/grey-teal</a> |
