Field Notes

Description:

One of the smaller ducks in Australia, the Grey Teal is "almost all grey-brown. Each feather of the body is edged with buff, except on the rump. The chin and throat are white, the bill is dark green and the eye is red. The secondary wing feathers have glossy blue-black patch, broadly bordered and tipped with white. In flight, a large white wedge is visible on the underwing." (Birdlife Australia: http://birdlife.org.au/bird-profile/Grey-Teal )

Habitat:

Hanging out in a mini wetland spot near the long trough and prison boab tree.
