Field Notes

Description:

A large (26-30 inches) duck, the male Northern Pintail is most easily identified by its gray back and flanks, white neck, dark brown head, and long, pin-like tail. Female Northern Pintails are mottled tan overall, with slightly shorter tails and bills. Males are almost unmistakable in their range and habitat, while females may be distinguished from other tan female ducks by their longer necks.

Habitat:

Spotted in Kalochori lagoon and estuaries of Gallikos river.

Notes:

Greek common name: Σουβλόπαπια
