NZ Scaup/Black Teal ( Aythya novaeseelandiae)

            The New Zealand Scaup which is also known as Black Teal or Papango is a blackish diving duck which is endemic to New Zealand. It is the most common of our diving ducks with a widespread and sparsely scattered population that numbers about 20,000. Although the population dropped quite markedly with the arrival of Europeans, NZ Scaup numbers have been on the rise again since being given full protection in 1934.

New Zealand Scaup are mostly seen in large bodies of clean water such as deep lakes, high country tarns and hydroelectric lakes in central or sub alpine locations away from the coast, but there are a few breeding on lakes and lagoons on the West Coast. Those around Okarito are seen in the upper lagoon and river delta area.
