What a beautiful head the male teal has Keith. In full screen the body feathers are beautifully sharp and clear. I guess that's the female teal in the picture. The beak is longer than a mallard, but the colours are similar. The water also looks beautiful! They are enjoying the sunshine, even though probably quite cold! Teal is a favourite colour of mine too :)

I'm pleased you like this pair Rosa.........there really is quite a different between the male and female. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I haven't seen any of these at Farlington before.

Normal in the animal world - the males are so much more attractive than the females. Just not fair. Thankfully it's not in the human world!!!!! LOL
