7 Goldeneye, Wigeon

Rather dull and overcast this morning.  Called in briefly before work and noticed a small party of ducks in the middle of the water, viewed from the Rowing Club car park.  Thought they were Wigeon at first, but drove round to the overflow and was able to get some better views.  There was one Wigeon, and 7 female or immature Goldeneye.  However they spent the whole time asleep and then I had to get to work.
