Saw this back in February at Lodmoor RSPB reserve in Dorset and I can’t find it in my bird book or via Google. It’s really annoying me now! Apologies for the poor quality pics; I couldn’t get that close and the light was poor.

Looks like a female Pochard to me.

I'd have gone Pochard too, though normally by February ducks are a bit smarter than this one appears (which doesn't help ID!)

I thought Pochard too (the colours are pretty much identical) but the dark bill confused me.
