Tete (Grey Teal)
| The smallest of New Zealand's ducks, Grey Teal became self-introduced last century. Their small size, overall grey colour and blood red eye make them easily identified. Their high pitched call and "clock-work-toy" movements are also very distinctive. In flight, Tete are fast and agile and can fly long distances. As they prefer to nest in holes, Ducks Unlimited's Grey Teal nest box programme has helped expand Grey Teal numbers since the 1970's. |
