A photo of a Eurasian Teal, swimming from left to right. The beautiful plumage of the male comes into its own at this time of the year. My favourite species of duck.
Eurasian Teal Anas crecca, from the family Anatidae. Taken today at the Abberton Causeway.

A photo of a male Mallard, posing and showing off his beautiful plumage. Fun fact: The Mallard has hybridised with more than 40 species in the wild, and an additional 20 species in captivity.
Mallard Anas platyrhynchos, from the family Anatidae. Who doesn't like a mallard…?

A mallard in the grass. The mallard is facing right and walking through some grass next to a lake. It has a metallic green head and long yellow bill, with a black tip. Its eye is also black. There is a thin white line on the duck's neck, and below that is a brown breast. The underside is white or a light grey and the tail end is black. Its wings range from white to tan to brown.

A pair of blue-winged teal flying right to left just slightly above a pond. They have grey heads with black beaks and there is a vertical white stripe between the bill and the small black eye. The bodies are a mottled brown. Both of their wings are pointed down and are brown. They both have a light blue wing patch. On the bird on the left there is a green patch just under the light blue. It is not visible on the duck at the right. There is green and light brown vegetation at the pond's edge. The vegetation and the ducks are reflected in the pond.

This Chestnut Teal was at the lake yesterday. They are dabbling ducks, feeding on seeds, plants, and small aquatic creatures by tipping forward in the water rather than diving.

I think capturing dabbling ducks has to be in my top 5 favorite things to do
