Bird ID Help Please

[clairescavys]

Hi everyone

Sorry to ask for ID help (yet again!), but the following birds I cannot identify from a trip to Pensthorpe yesterday (and apologies, not all of these birds may be British, but I'm not sure).

If anyone can help, it would be much appreciated.

Many thanks.

Agree with apart from

2 female Pochard
3 eclipse drake Wigeon
5 agree but also known as White-cheeked Pintail
6 female Hooded Merganser
9 Black-bellied Whistling Duck

Also a drake Eider with Bar-headed Geese in number 1

Only Pochard, Eider + Wigeon are regular British birds. I think Hooded Merganser has just been accepted on British list (a North American species) + Marbled Duck (Teal) is European + has probably occurred as natural vagrant but waters are muddied by escapes from collections.

Hi everyone

Thank you very much for your helpful replies, it is much appreciated. Sorry about the amount of photos, I just couldn't work out what they were - how much do you all know about birds!

Where do you go for these? You often photograph Ornamentals/escapees!

Always interesting

Jason- the info you ask is in the first post! It's Pensthorpe which is in Norfolk + where Springwatch was based this year.
