Yes
I'm pretty sure that's what they are. Spotted at WWT Martin Mere just in front of the Discovery Hide, so they were pretty close. There did seem to be quite a variation in colour.

Colours vary a lot this time of the year from almost grey/white to bronze ... a group in full breeding colours is quite spectacular. :)
 
Some lovely shots here of a very strangely called bird.
 
Thanks Gramps, I was just looking myself as to how they got their name.
