I`m pretty sure that they are Tufted ducks.

As with most diving ducks the tufted duck has rapid flight, and almost runs on the water surface when taking off. Breeds in Eastern Britain on secluded lakes, and overwinters on open fresh waters in all areas of Britain.

Nice pictures:thumb::thumb:

"Sorry"....... But I will have to disagree....

Even young Tufted ducks at an early`ish age have the makings of their trade mark "Tuft"...

Your birds are well into being senior... and no sign of a tuft..

I`ll stand my ground and say they are Bufflehead`s..

Picture on the left is a young Tufted.... Picture on the right similar age Bufflehead... :thumb:

All of which proves the old saying

If it looks like a duck - walks like a duck and quacks like a duck then it most probably is a DUCK

Bufflehead ducks look like this. http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/bufflehead/id

Not all tufted have a big "tuft" my guess is the male in the pictures is a youngster from last year.

They all look the same when you level that little brass stud on the front of a shotgun on them.............

As the Photo was taken in Stratford on Avon yesterday.

I think I'll go with The Tufted Duck theory.:thumb:

Buffleheads are estuarine ducks and basically N American
so it would be a bit of a rarity, and not a twitcher in sight

Thanks anyway guys:thumb:

Noooooooooooo

Hoisin sauce and pancakes are what duck was invented for.
