@birdsofsound: The Eurasian teal (Anas crecca) is a small, widespread dabbling duck that breeds across temperate Eurasia and migrates south for the winter. It is easily recognized by its compact size: males feature a distinctive chestnut head with a striking green eye patch, a speckled breast, and a bright green wing speculum. Females are cryptically patterned in mottled brown for camouflage. Highly social outside the breeding season, it thrives in shallow wetlands, marshes, and lagoons, feeding primarily on seeds, aquatic plants, and small invertebrates.
