Duck I.D.

[markyboy.1967]

No idea what these ducks are so any ideas? Only record shorts as i wasn't sure what it was so no need for crit...lol Also is the 21st a female mallard? never photograph docs normally.

I would say the 1st is a female Garganey and the 2nd is a female Gadwall ... plumage can be a bit variable at the moment due to the final stages of moult.

Thanks Gramps, no idea about ducks to be honest, should make more of an effort though.

1st is a female Garganey and the 2nd is a female Gadwall

I would confirm both!
