Snipe and Scaup? Id if possible!

[little_auk11]

Good evening,

Firstly, apologies for the extreme rubbishness of the possible Snipe images. Might be a lost cause! I took these on Sunday near London and am thinking common Snipe and female Scaup but Jack Snipe and tufted duck have also crossed my mind.

Thank you for any comments!

I think it must be a female Tufted Duck,due to the amount of black on the tip of the bill but i may be wrong.

1sts one is a snipe your second one I think is a female tuffty in one of pics sure can see a small tuft on head, and head shape looks wrong though may be wrong

EDIT on snipe in one pic can just see peal stripe on top of head that rules out jack snipe

you can see central crown stripe on central pic of common snipe and i'd say tufties on the ducks.

Common Snipe and Tufted Duck.
