The Black Duck is just a domesticated Mallard-type.
I thought the second bird could be a Common Scoter for a second but it is definitely a Red-crested Pochard - they are quite easy to confuse.

PS I was always told our Mute Swans in western Europe were introduced in ancient times, but a bit of research (well Wikipedia) suggests this may be wrong.

Also, the Teal is a Gadwall.
The status of Mute Swan in Europe is confused - some argue that they are introduced, others that they are native. Personally, I see no reason that they should not be native (the main problem seems to be that they were farmed and eaten - this also applies to Mallard and Greylag Goose, which are undeniably native to Europe).
PS. The second duck is clearly a Red-crested Pochard, Mike. It looks nothing like a Common or Black Scoter ;-)

Not spotting the mis-labelled Gadwall (I just didn't look, honest!) is bringing back grim memories!

Let's hope you're paying more attention when the Scaly-sided Merganser turns up this winter...
