Where does grey Teal usually live？

Grey Teal prefers to live in habitats of shallow water areas including lagoons, swamps and shallow freshwater lakes. Preference for shallower waters means that it is easier for ducklings to be able to swim and eat. Therefore aiding the rearing and survival of juvenile Grey Teal. Grey Teal also prefers areas that have a sizeable marginal cover (meaning sufficient plant and vegetation growth around the margins), therefore are not often seen in open spaces. Although Grey Teal tends to choose freshwater sites during the breeding season it is also known to be seen in coastal/salt waters occasionally as well as slightly brackish waters. In terms of elevation Grey Teal does not tend to populate in areas above 900m above sea level, instead prefers areas that are below 300m above sea level. When nesting Grey Teal choose to create its nests amongst vegetation on the ground level, this vegetation may include reeds and tall grasses. As well as this, it often elevates nests above ground in tree hallows.
