Thanks Mark - looking at your photo - I now think that they are all Cape Shelduck - I have previously thought that they were Ruddy Shelduck and that the white fronted one was a Cape Shedluck - but it looks like the white fronted one is a female Cape -although the white base to the bill does not appear to fit in with the guidebooks?? They must be escapees - or have been placed on the pond by someone??
