Mallard Drake flying around the lake
A pigeons spring air space, aided by my lack of in-camera compositional framing :)
Water with wing echoes perhaps?

Coot on a scoot, heading 'back to the ranch'
Moorhen chick still lacking in confidence at the water's edge. Soon it'll be scrapping with the rest
Not permanent names for these two ducks, caught during a dispute :)
