Hello Surfan
I agree with you. the bird in the foreground is a Wigeon by
  • good colouration
  • contrastlingly white edges to the blackish tertials
  • round head
Together results in a jizz good for Wigeon.

The bird in the background is harder, looks more like a Teal to me. But I better wait for others or can you post larger=more detailed pictures?

Edit: thank you Joern for confident ID!
