The teal is a surface feeding duck dabbling on the surface for seeds or upending to feed just below the surface on small snails or insect larvae.
They are quite small and tend to flock together in small social groups.
As with most birds the males are much more brightly coloured that the females as can be seen in the second picture.
They really are beautiful birds but the teal also gives its name to a colour but looking at these pictures I wonder what the colour teal actually is. I am told it is the stripe around and behind his eye...
