Duck and Gull IDs please

[Trik]

I think the duck may be a female Common Scoter, and the gull, a juvenile Black-headed, or, possibly, a juvenile Kittiwake.

Thanks

Teal and juv Bh gull

[aeshna5]

Teal + more strictly 1st winter Black-headed Gull (it's moulted out of juvenile plumage).

I thought that the duck was a female Common Scoter because of the pale cheek and quite well-defined dark cap, which cannot be shadow because of the light direction. If I had been able to get nearer, though, and seen a green patch in the speculum, I would have realised she was a Teal.

Thanks for the IDs.
