Cape Teal

Cape Teal

🐦 Description: The Cape Teal caught my eye the moment I saw it gliding through the water. With its striking grey plumage and chestnut eyes, this bird is a natural poser for any photographer! Native to Southern Africa, the Cape Teal has a knack for dabbling in water just like a professional swimmer. Did you know they’re dabbling ducks, meaning they tip forward in the water to forage? So, if you see one performing a nose dive, don’t worry, it’s all part of the act!
