	Wrybill Birding Tours, NZ: Hybrid teal?
		Neil had seen a strange teal with very young ducklings on one of his farm ponds; and thought that it might be a native brown teal.
		Realising the bird was not a brown teal, the closest match appeared to be chestnut teal, from Australia.
		This bird had very chestnut cheeks and throat, and there were also patches of chestnut on some of the upper breast feathering, but, as mentioned by some, the feathering on the closed wing appeared too much like a grey teal.

		The Grey Teal is on the left and the female Chestnut Teal is on the right.

	brown teal, Anas aucklandica (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The brown teal or Pateke belongs to the same genus as the mallard, grey duck, grey teal and the shoveler duck and there are also numerous other cousins around the world.
		The brown teal is closely related to the Australian chestnut teal which visit this country occasionally but have yet to breed in New Zealand.
		As the mainland Pateke are the most closely related to the Australian chestnut teal, it is thought that they have evolved from a much more recent invasion of the Australian ducks, while the island varieties must have been isolated from their Australian counterparts for many centuries.

	Brown Teal Description
		The bill of Brown Teal is reminiscent of that of the NZ Shoveler (Anas ryhnchotis variegata) in that they have a very strong lamellae, which is ideal for sieving material for food and which is a major feeding method for Brown Teal.
		The eggs of Brown Teal are cream-tan in colour and for a bird weighing only 500g a Brown Teal egg is by far the largest of all teal eggs, equivalent to a massive eleven percent of the female's weight and measuring a unique teal sized egg of 58 x 43mm.
		In the wild two clutches in a breeding season have been regularly recorded from one pair of teal and this is undoubtedly one of the reasons for moult irregularities.

	Dabbling Ducks
		This Australian teal rarely leaves the water, preferring to feed on the water but is also often seen running quite easily during the breeding season while looking for suitable nesting sites.
		Not a great deal of information is known about this Siberian teal in the wild, however, the wild numbers are declining because of excessive hunting and the draining of marshland for agriculture.
		This African teal is the smallest of the dabbling ducks and the only one with glossy green wings.

	Brown Teal Research Projects
		All of the released teal were found to have been in very poor nutritional condition immediately before death, implicating starvation as a factor in their deaths.
		Molecular genetic studies have shown that Fiordland brown teal mitochondrial DNA sequences are more similar to those of mallards and grey ducks than to those of brown teal from the North Island.
		This confirmed that hybridisation between brown teal and mallards, grey ducks or mallard-grey duck hybrids was present and extensive in the Fiordland brown teal population.

	Harteman Wildfowl - New Zealand Brown Teal - Anas chlorotis
		Brown teal have many unique features that are not found in any other species of waterfowl, and it is these unique features that place brown teal in a class of their own.
		In the early 1800’s brown teal were possibly the most abundant duck species in New Zealand and whilst the brown teal population declined steadily from the late 1800’s it accelerated from the 1950’s to a level, where over the past 15 years, numbers declined from a population of c2,500 to c1,200.
		Brown teal have the unique and extraordinary tendency to hide in grass and overhanging vegetation for most of the day and whilst this behaviour has been generally described as ‘crepuscular’ it is now felt more appropriate to describe it as ‘nocturnal’.

	Grey Teal
		Grey Teal can be found across a range of habitat types, from mangrove estuaries of the coast to deep cold lakes of the highlands.

	MURRAY ISLES DESIGNS - CHESTNUT TEAL (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The "Chestnut Teal" is the fruit of a collaboration between ourselves and Duck Flat Wooden Boats specifically to develop an affordable trailer- sailer that offered unusually good accommodation, a good cockpit, a distinctive traditional appearance and good sailing performance.
		The "Chestnut Teal" loses only 39 centimetres of her length in overhangs to allow both a fine entry and a flat run.
		The "Chestnut Teal" can be built in three different techniques - stitch- &-tape plywood; strip-planked or plywood-clinker (lapstrake) and the plan sets are well detailed with lifelike three-dimensional drawings and step-by-step building notes.

	Wrybill Birding Tours, NZ: Chestnut teal or hybrid?
		As can be seen from the photos this bird appears far more like a chestnut teal, and had this bird been seen on its own there probably would have been little question as to its identification.
		We strongly suspect that we are dealing with hybrid grey/chestnut teal, and feel the first bird (first three photos) has to be a hybrid, whilst the second fits the bill of a straight chestnut teal more closely.
		It has been long suggested that chestnut teal could be breeding along this part of the coast, although vagrant birds from Australia are just as likely.

	Phylogeny, biogeography, and taxonomy of Australasian teals (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The taxonomy of the Australasian teals has been particularly unstable.
		Australasian Grey Teal (Anas gracilis) and Chestnut Teal (A. castanea) are widely viewed as specifically distinct, but the taxonomy of the New Zealand teals remains unsettled.
		The resultant phylogeny unequivocally groups the Chestnut Teal with the Grey Teal, rather than with the New Zealand teals as has traditionally been held (Fleming 1953).
