A ducky day...

Enjoyed my afternoon, went down by the river to see what I could find..I done good !!
Although they were all on the other side of the river, I was quite pleased with my first shots of the season!
A Male Common Merganser...

 He took off so I managed to get him flying...

 Here are 2 male Common Merganser and the 'brown tufted' female too..

 I managed to get this couple as they were taking off too, a male Hooded Merganser ( female in the front)

 Although this one reminds me of a male and female Mallard, the purplish head on the male is throwing me off, and I can't see it in my books, any ideas??
