Marbled Teal Marmaronetta angustirostris



The Marbled Teal (Marmaronetta angustirostris), is a medium-sized duck. It used to be included among the dabbling ducks, but is now classed as a diving duck. This duck formerly bred in large numbers in the Mediterranean region, but is now restricted to a few sites in southern Spain and northwest Africa. In the east it survives in Iran (Shadegan Marshes – the world’s most important site), as well as isolated pockets in Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Iraq.
