A programme to monitor the breeding rates of Grey Teal underway in the Mangatawhiri Wetlands near Pokeno is the first to capture the birds using a hand-held net, says John Dyer, Fish and Game Officer for Auckland/Waikato.
Grey Teal, which in the late 1880s were found in only a handful of places, now number 50 to 100,000 throughout New Zealand although Dyer says they don’t thrive everywhere.
Fish and Game have now placed teal boxes in suitable habitat in the Mangatawhiri, South Kaipara and Maramarua areas and, as an indication of their success, in one study alone of the 104 teal boxes in Maramarua 1500 eggs were laid in a single season.

 brown teal, Anas aucklandica   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
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.

 The fossil distribution of Brown Teal in New Zealand
The Brown Teal (Anas chlorotis) is a small duck endemic to the main islands (North, South, Stewart, and associated islets) and the Chatham Islands of New Zealand.
The aim of the present report is to clarify the prehistoric distribution of Brown Teal and the broad habitat (plant/landscape) characters with which remains have been associated throughout New Zealand, through an examination of fossil evidence.
Most if not all these records need to be treated with caution as the basis on which they were separated from Brown Teal was not given, and it is now known that the wing elements of both taxa widely overlap in size and are generally not distinguishable.
