Can anyone help ID these birds? Taken yesterday at Skinflats Lagoons on the Firth of Forth.

Thanks.

We're in the stickiest situation since Sticky the Stick Insect stepped on a sticky bun!

Hi Crawford Bell and welcome.

I'm thinking Tufted Duck but you'd better wait for an expert's opinion!

A thing of beauty is a joy forever.

I'm not an expert but I'd go along with Rach; male and female Tufted Duck.

Regards TJ
