Help ID our ducks please!

Hello

Can anyone help with these ducks please. Can't see anything like it in our books or on the Internet.

They were on the roof yesterday and are still around this morning so I hope to get a better picture.

Thanks.

Your birds are feral/domestic Mallard types. There are all sorts of variations, but these don't look like wild birds.

Agree with Joe. One of many forms/varieties of domesticated Mallards. An increasing sight in the UK amoungst decreasing numbers of pure Mallards.
