great shots Petcal. Nice DOF. Love those species Always struck me as the same duck with different paint trim. Call the redhead a cherry headed scaup.

2 unknown ducks to me, but nice lookers Peter. I've never really taken many pics of ducks, maybe I should this next season for a change.


Cheers Wayne :D

Yes, it is a hen Lesser Scaup.

Great photo's!

I was thinking greater scaup because the black on the bill extends beyond the nail but I can only be positive if the wings were open.
