Garganeys
The Garganey is a scarce and very secretive breeding duck in the UK. It is smaller than a Mallard and slightly bigger than a Teal. The male is most easily recognised with a broad white stripe over the eye.
The Garganey is mostly found in central and southern England where it favours shallow wetlands and flooded meadows and ditches with plenty of aquatic vegetation.
Breeding birds are present from March and return from July and small numbers of non-breeding birds visit on passage migration in spring and autumn.
