As compare, the female are duller in their coloration.
Common Redshank
I'm not very sure of the tide at that moment, may be the tide is consider high? Saw only 2 Common Redshank or may be the rest are at different part of the park?
Northern Shoveler
The next duck that appear is the Northern Shoveler

Remember the lobed feet I mentioned sometimes ago...  Yes. Eurasian Coot have a pair of special lobed feet that they use to run on the water surface before taking off.

 Among the Tufted ducks, found Greater Scaup swim among the Tufted ducks.
