Just been for a brief stroll, never been good with my water bird ID. Sorry for the poor quality.......

Widgeons?

My guess is

1. all Gadwall
2. pair of Wigeon
3. Wigeon on left, Gadwall on right
4. male Wigeon

Agree with Tim. The bird on the right in the 3rd photo has an oddly chestnut head which made me think of Wigeon but otherwise looks like a Gadwall.

How is the Treeton Dyke/Catcliffe Flash area these days? All back to normal after the flooding?

After a more serious study I agree with tim.birdboy for pics 1, 2 and 4.
Also agree that left bird from pic 3 is a Wigeon.
