Most are hard to photographs, usually hide in brambles and shrubs as soon as they see you coming. <br /><br />@ Chris and Jochen: I did see the Eurasian GW or Common Teal in Germany and took a photo, the one you see on my post for comparison. Chris, I think Blue-winged Teals with their white blaze are much better looking :-)Hilke Brederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18357741278362930033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6364686787961129602.post-34395945380250483352010-04-15T08:21:30.026-04:002010-04-15T08:21:30.026-04:00Hi Hilke,
