A Kam Tin trip on 13/10 yielded the following. Rather inexperienced am I...please id this little cuckoo, who has recently acquired a comb on its tail, for me. And I am wondering if this is really an Intermediate Egret... Lastly here is a duck (there were two). Are they Teals or Wigeons? Please lend me some help.

Photo 1: Little cuckoo ? Can you re-post it?! Photo 2: Correct, it is an Intermediate Egret. Photo 3: It is a Teal.

Thanks for your reply. Could you please elaborate on the Teal? I wonder if it should look so rufous - and is it an eclipse male?
