Observation details
I immediately noticed the birds did not appear to be LESC, so stopped to take some photos. The head shapes of both birds were noticeably different from LESC. I could not see a tufted peak behind the eye of either bird, which gave a rounded appearance to the head in the relaxed posture. Their bills were long, large and spatulate. The birds also seemed larger than I would expect a LESC to appear and in the images both birds appear to be approximately the same size. I sent the photos to a known duck expert, and they agreed with GRSC.
