Eurasian teal

The Eurasian teal is a small duck with striking blue-green wing patches, found across Europe and Asia. It breeds in northern regions but flies south when winter comes. Its name inspired the color 'teal', thanks to those vivid feathers.

• Males have a distinctive chestnut head with a green eye patch.
• They dabble in shallow water, tipping forward to feed on plants.
• One of the smallest dabbling ducks in their range.
