The Eurasian Teal is the smallest duck regularly seen in Japan, arriving from the north in autumn to spend the winter. The male has a chestnut head with a green patch around the eye. In the ponds of the former Shirokane Imperial Estate in Tokyo it can be seen as a winter visitor in the middle of the city, and the surrounding nature is protected.
