Grey Teal no longer an accepted common name?

By Birding-Aus, on June 10th, 2013

I note that Eremaea does not recognise Grey Teal as a common name for Anas gracilis. Does anyone else find this at least a little odd?

  Thanks Nicholas, even as a (fairly poor) Birdline moderator (Tas), I wasn’t aware of all that detail.

  Cheers, John Tongue Birdline-Tas moderator.

  Hi Bob, It depends on the setting you are using. It shows Grey Teal for me. From Jenny Stiles

  So Anas gracilis is an American duck?

  Probably “Gray Teal”? They often use American spelling.
