Grey teals like to perch

Louise from Woburn

I admire grey teals – I’ve always been a sucker for birds clad in shades of grey browns where the interest lies in their behaviour. These guys, with demonic red eyes and about two-thirds the size of a mallard, like to perch up trees to rest – they like nothing better than an almost horizontal branch or tree trunk stretched out over calm water for a siesta. It’s like they don’t like having wet feet. If I were a duck I would be a grey teal/tētē moroiti (Anas gracilis).
