🦆Garganey

Spatula querquedula (Linnaeus, 1758)

발구지(garganey, Spatula querquedula)는 발구지속에 속한 오리의 일종이다. 유럽과 아시아 서부의 대부분의 지역에서 서식하지만 철새이기 때문에 개체 전반이 겨울에 남아프리카, 인도(특히 산트라가치), 오스트랄라시아로 이주하며, 이 때 커다란 무리를 이룬다. 이 종들은 1758년에 린네가 처음 기재하였다. 쇠오리 등의 다른 조그마한 오리와 같이 이 종들은 빠른 비행으로 물에 쉽게 뜬다. 얕은 소택과 스텝 연못 근방의 초지에서 번식한다.
