Green-Winged Teal

 This morning I got a long distance shot of this Green-Winged Teal an American bird that I have always liked to see . The sad thing is that it has now been lumped with our Common Teal a thing that that seems stupid to me 😒

Also seen was a European Spoonbill and a Western Marsh Harrier
