#1
Is it Black-headed Gull? But the underwings are so dark!
#2 & #3
Is it Common Teal? However, the colours around the eye and speculum are purple instead of green!
#4
Is it Forest Wagtail? Does it appear in Nam Sang Wai?

#1 Black-headed Gull
#2 & #3 Common Teal
#4 White Wagtail
#5 & #6 looks like Garganey

Should #5,6 be a Teal? Garganey would show a second black line below the eye ending in a white spot near the beak.

Thanks for comments from both of you. It is difficult to identify ducks during the non-breeding season.
