Thank you so much! A Whistling Duck!
It turns out they are Red-billed Whistling Ducks. After your tip I looked it up on Wikipedia and there they were! Would you believe it the (full sized) photo supplied even says "Red-billed Whistling Duck at Slimbridge Wildfowl and Wetlands Centre, Gloucestershire, England." Presumably a very close relative of the Black-bellied or the same thing as it was in the Black-bellied Whistling Duck entry.
They definitely are dapper little things - utterly adorable.
Thanks again I can go label my photo correctly now
