Baikal Teal Sibirionetta formosa

This species was formerly placed in the genus Anas. It is a rare vagrant to western Europe but the situation is complicated by escapees from captivity. I've only seen one bird that was considered to be wild and that was too distant for photos, so here are some captive birds.
