Teal  (Anas crecca)

The teal has an extensive range, like the shoveler, across most of the world’s northern latitudes. In the UK, the birds are found over most of the country in winter, but move to the northern upland areas during the breeding season.

Outside the breeding season, teal form large flocks on lakes and coastal bays. During the breeding season the birds chose brackish or freshwater lakes and ponds in upland wooded or forested areas.
