Marbled Duck (Marbled Teal) Marmaronetta angustirostris
Marbled Ducks are popular in captivity and sometimes escape. Genuinely wild birds may occur occasionally but as with so much rare wildfowl, proving a wild origin is next to impossible. A few have had relatively good credentials, the best in Norfolk being this wary bird at Kelling which put in a very brief appearance in spring 2000:
