A Swan I have yet to see and beautifully captured T!

Well, I think it is a Grebe I am looking at in front.

A super fun shot this Tee.... you've captured all that action so well lad.

I've not seen 'Tundra' but have seen their cousin the Bewick's, not that common here!!

Give up on what else you have there.
 
Congrats on your newbie Tee...Looks like a lot of honking going on here buddy.

Congratulations on the lifer Teto. These big chaps do seem quite excitable (lol). Fabulous picture. I don't know about the duck in front but the two in the back left appear to be a male and female Lesser Scaup.
 
Cracker Pepe, im with Stanley on the Scaup at the back, and will go for a Gadwall in front.!
