Ducks with redeye

On my rambles the other day I came across a few ducks , First off Pochard, 

 

 

Two fine males no females about.

Thought I might have to get the redeye tool in action

Next up a fine male Gadwall

 

And close by a pair of Gadwall, some of the feathers on the male are beautifully marked.

  and not to be out done our friend the Mallard

He must be getting on a bit , he is dribbling.

And close by his misses with the kids, she actually had about 6 left but they where behaving badly doing their own thing all aver the  pond. consequently quite a few had fallen prey to crows and gulls.

And lastly by the coast a pair of Shelduck
