Eurasian Teal

A Eurasian Teal on the main lake at Kelsey Park, Beckenham. This is an adult male Eurasian Teal coming into full breeding plumage. Eurasian Teal is a rarely seen bird in parks in South London and this is the first one that I have seen at Kelsey Park. An inquiry on Facebook determined that some birds were seen in Greenwich Park a few years ago but none have been seen recently.
