Observation details

Drake (in adult plumage, but perhaps first winter?) feeding with a garganey and mallards. Views were at intermediate range (approx 100 metres) with 10x42 binoculars. While very fine plumage details were not apparent there were no obvious signs that the bird was a hybrid, with the green-winged teal features clearly apparent in the photos included here (with no sign of any horizontal white line as on Eurasian teal) Vertical white line on flank clearly vosible
