Description
The teal is a little smaler than a mallard duck and the female (as usual) has no colours but a vibrant pale green wing bar. I heard about the beautyful wing bar of that bird 2 years ago and expected an encounter since then. Finaly got my chance few days ago. It needed 2 days to get that nice wing bar. The first day I spent half an hour and the bird never showed it. I came back the day after. The bird was grooming and I finaly got those nice shots within 15 minutes
