| | | Duck ID
In a flock of about 50 birds, in the sea but also seen earlier in a large pond next to the sea. Similar size to a mallard or perhaps a little smaller.
Are they Wigeon?
Thankyou |

Dogghound: Are you actually asking for... an ID??  It must be a first... 
They have the face of wigeons. Perhaps the one on the Left is a juvenile and the Right one is an adult female?

I think these are wigeon - possibly a female and eclipse male. |

Cheers for both the suggestions so far, guys. |
