Hello.

Can someone help me to identify these ducks?
The photos were taken in the Parc Natural El Fondó in August 2013.

1.) Aythya nyroca or Aythya ferina?
2.) Anas penelope?
3.) on the left I don´t know, on the right should be Netta rufina
4.) Aythya nyroca or Aythya ferina?
5.) Aythya nyroca or Aythya ferina?

Best regards Basti

1. young aythya ferina
2. two female and one male gadwall (anas strepera)
3. left female type garganey (anas querquedula) and right a marbled duck (marmaronetta angustirostris) - a much "better" species than netta rufina.
4. and 5. are female common pochards (aythya ferina)
