Drake Teal .........

I'm not the best photographer in the world but I do believe that I'm a reasonable observer.

This image sums it up well, with a Drake Teal you should really get the green eye patch well illuminated, its one of the birds key features.

But It was the structure of its feathers that captured my attention, I am not an experienced Ducker but I can't think of many, maybe Manderin Ducks, that have such a coarse and high profile plumage structure on their backs and wings..

I could of course be trying to compensate for a sub-standard image in the first place !.
