Field Notes

Description:

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)

Habitat:

Standing on the ground on a little bit of ground not covered by water on the town side of the Long Trough (near the Prison Boab Tree) - see pic 2

Notes:

These one-legged Grey Teals are wondering what the Black-necked Stilt (Himantopus mexicanus) is looking at :D
