Mysterious fauna and flora

Well maybe not mysterious. I am just ignorant. But here is a family of ducks the like of which I'd never seen before. I suspect that the blue/ purple coloured one on the bank fourth from the left is the drake. The bird on the bank sitting next to him is, perhaps, the mature female, his missus, and the light brown coloured ducks are daughters. In the water is another drake, the young lad, trying out his charms on what would appear to be a mallard duck.


Are these just off-colour ducks, a family of freaks? Or is this another species. Anybody out there know?

I also found what might be an orchid on a secluded part of the Stour bank: 


Once again my ignorance prevents me from knowing anything about this.
