Baikal Teal

A very smart male Baikal Teal at Fen Drayton, Moore Lake.

Two in six months---getting quite common these days!!

The Baikal Teal (Anas formosa), also called the Bimaculate Duck or Squawk Duck, is a dabbling duck that breeds in eastern Russia and winters in East Asia.

In this Quarry our Quarry (the Eastern Crowned Warbler) was present the day before. But unfortunately on our arrival the Twitch was rapidly diminishing whilst the Warbler was, no doubt, on its way back to Sunny Shanghai.

The 417 miles round trip was not, however, a complete waste. A visit to Port Clarence, Cleveland on the way home revealed a Blue-winged Teal---a lifer which had eluded me for some time.
