The garganey is a small dabbling duck that breeds across Europe and the Palearctic region but migrates entirely to Africa, India, Bangladesh, and Australasia each winter, sometimes gathering in large flocks. This species is notable for being one of the ducks first scientifically described by Carl Linnaeus in 1758 and is known for its ability to rise quickly from the water with a distinctive twisting flight.
