Green-winged Teal, Burton Mere 30th December 2015


An adult male Green-winged Teal arrived at Burton Mere Wetlands RSPB yesterday afternon. Presumably, the same bird which had been at Frodsham for the last few weeks. With news of it still being present late morning, I made my way over there.

When I arrived the Green-winged Teal was on view from Reception. After moving outside & sorting myself out I relocated the bird just as it was settling down for a bit of a nap.

Since seeing my first in Yorkshire in1973, this American species has become a lot more frequent & although there have been many records (over twenty) in Cheshire & Wirral, this was my first locally.
