Had a male and female Green winged Teal show up as I was enjoying my lunch break today. Pretty little ducks!

Always nice when one of these turns up here in the UK, im not sure i would be able to tell a female from one of our Teal, but no problem with the Drake.

Good for you, Mike; I've never gotten close to one; too bad the light was so on and off yesterday; the drake would look brilliant in full sun.

Yes, the light was crap. Bright off and on as the clouds thinned, but very overcast...I'd love to get a "sunset" teal sometime.

Very nice Mike, lucky you I have been looking for this teal, people told me the teal is just around the area but I've never seen it, it must be avoiding me :)

I'm quite sure I've seen Blue Winged Teal other years, but not this spring yet...here's hoping!
