A pair of Garganey were found early morning at Willington Gravel Pits in South Derbyshire. Only a few miles from home, I decided to pay them a visit and I wasn’t disappointed.<\/p>\n

Although for most of the time they were just at the extremities of my camera lens, I managed to get a few half decent record shots of the pair courting and just generally chilling out. I do hope they stay local and continue to breed, but it is getting rather late in the season.<\/p>\n

One of my favourite British ducks, the male is incredibly well marked. Unique among British ducks, the Garganey is a summer migrant, hence alternative names of Summer Teal, Cricket Teal and Summer Duck<\/p>\n\n\n\n
