Ringed Teal (male)
The ringed teal is a small duck native to South America (Argentina, Paraguay, Bolivia, Brazil and Uruguay).
This species prefers tropical, swampy forests and marshy clearings in well-wooded lowlands.
In the 18th century, export of this bird to Europe was started up and ringed teals were kept as ornamental water birds by the rich nobility in the west.
The bird in my shot must be a specimen escaped from captivity.
Dutch name : Ringtaling (ook roodschoudertaling genoemd)
German name : Rotschulterente
Latin name : Callonetta leucophrys
