Campbell Teal, Anas nesiotis, is a duck in the family Anatidae and the order Anseriformes. It breeds in Australasia on Campbell Island, south of New Zealand’s South Island. The bird is native to the Campbell Island group and is also known as Campbell Island teal. It is a dabbling duck in the genus Anas. Some authorities treat it as the same species as the brown teal. Its natural setting includes tussock grassland with Poa tussock, ferns and megaherbs, and it also makes use of petrel burrows and routes on the islands.
