4 Shoveler, 6 Gadwall

Very dull and constant rain this morning during my walk, but armed with my brolly I decided to brave the conditions, and in the end I was quite happy - from the hide there were 4 Shoveler and 6 Gadwall.  The Shoveler were constantly feeding and it was difficult to get any photos with all of them having their heads out of the water, so here's a pic of just two of them.
