Nice set! I think that first one is a female mallard, or a mottled duck.

Very nice set! The shot of the mandarin drake is terrific!

Not certain of the female Mallard - I had one visiting my backyard that looked different. I think they're different on either side of the pond.

Thank you - getting the correct angle is a challenge.

Some people have said it could be a silver appleyard - or some other domestic duck I am not sure.

No not google a different photoforum. In the same way that there are lots of domestic rabbit breeds there are the same with ducks and this could be one that escaped.
