Mr & Mrs

I'm not sure of the species so would be grateful if anyone knows. I thought they were shelduck but after looking in my bird books, I don't think they are because the bird on the left (who I think is the male) doesn't have a chestnut band around his tummy although there are chestnut tones on his neck and wing. I saw them both at Priory Country Park but I didn't stay long as it was freeeeeeeeezing!
A good capture but I have no idea what they are.

Very striking geese/ducks but have never seen any like that before.

they are striking, but I can't ID either I'm afraid

Great capture Rosie can't help with ID for sure they look a little like Egyptian geese but don't have all the colours on their backs:)

Nice capture. It almost looks like the one on the left might be enticing the other one. :-)

Goosy goosy gander where shall we wander == they are certainly prepared for the muddy terrain in their red wellies !!!!
