Hmm not good. Another try:

Set 1:
1) Shoveler
2) Long-tailed Duck
3) Pochard (not sure it really looks like one though)

Set 2:
1) Eider
2) Teal
3) Shoveler

Set 4:
1) Is difficult - Tufted Duck?
2) Pintail

Okay so Set 1 number 1 is female Gadwall (kinda orangey though isn't it). I'll change number 3 back to a Goldeneye while I'm at it.
:clap: thats 3/3 for set 1 & set 3. Set 2 is actually a bizarre angle on a female Mallard in crap light, a shoveler & a female Teal. Set 4 is a diving female Mallard(she went right under) & a female Pintail.
 
I just have to have a go at the ducks, I didn´t look at the others IDs, would have spoilt the fun.

Doing it clockwise

1. Gadwall Longtailed duck Goldeneye
2.Mallard, gadwall, shoveler
3. Wigeon, garganey, Shoveler
4.Mallard, pintail

Would have won the coconut with that Joern! Only wrong answer is bird 2 in 2nd group which is a female Teal -hard to tell as wing flashes covered & no other reference point in frame to assess size.
