GARGANEY, or SUMMER-TEAL, Anas querquedula, is one of the smallest of the ducks and is a summer visitant to England, where it breeds in the east Norfolk Broads. Slightly larger than the common teal (A. crecca), the male has a nutmeg-brown beard and a white line behind the eyes. The female resembles the hen teal, but possesses no wing spot. In Ireland and Scotland the garganey is rare. It has not a high northern range, and its appear ance in Norway and Sweden is casual. It is nowhere common in Europe, but ranges far to the eastward in Asia, and yearly visits India in winter in enormous numbers. They nest very frequently in reed-beds.
