Wildfowl photographed at the Dingle Nature Reserve in Anglesea, Wales in Oct 2007. Any help identifying the two flanking the Mallard would be appreciated! Thanks.

Hi
They're one of the many forms of mallard produced by thousands of years of domestication and selective breeding; they frequently escape captivity and can turn up anywhere. More info here: “Manky Mallards” (domestic, feral, or just plain odd Mallards)

Hi, thanks for that T2. They are so much bigger though, and a variety of different shades of colour... quite impressive I thought. Thanks for the link
