🦆Eurasian Teal
Die Krickente, Kriekente oder Wachtelente (Anas crecca) ist eine Vogelart aus der Familie der Entenvögel und gehört zur Gattung der Eigentlichen Enten (Anas). Krickenten zählen zu den zahlreichsten und am weitesten verbreiteten Entenarten Eurasiens. Es sind gesellige Enten, die leicht an ihrem kleinen Körperbau zu erkennen sind: Mit 35 bis 36 cm Länge ist sie in Europa und Nordamerika die kleinste Entenart. Sie ist damit kaum länger als eine Stadttaube. In Mitteleuropa ist sie ein verbreiteter und regional häufiger Brutvogel, der gebietsweise sogar ein Jahresvogel ist. Im Winterhalbjahr ist sie ein häufiger Durchzügler und Gastvogel. Die Krickente ist monotypisch. Die früher als Unterart der Krickente angesehene Carolinakrickente (Anas carolinensis) gilt heute als eigenständige Art.
