Identify some birds for me

fjon

I'm looking for some help with identifying some common birds for a geocaching puzzle I'm working on.
The 9 birds can be found in the pictures here:

The puzzle calls for their Latin names, but I can look those up if someone can give me the English names.

From the A to I: Aythya fuligula, Aythya ferina, Phalacrocorax carbo, Ardea cinerea, Egretta alba, Podiceps cristatus, Mergus merganser, Bucephala clangula and Haliaeetus albicilla.

i particularly like your number C considering you username

But on the dodder its the herons you need to be worried about eating all your fish

dodderangler

I've fished the dodder since I was a kid never seen a heron take anything but minnow and once a rat but the dodder is full of cormorants and I've seen them taking nice size trout in it
The amount of cormorants on it and other rivers and lakes is ridiculous

i see alot of cormoronts fishing on lakes, but very rarely see them on the dodder (i live right on the banks of it).

The few herons we have on the 500 metre stretch i walk by pick up more than minnow

Herons can and do take all sizes of stuff ranging from frogs to quite big ducklings and all sizes of fish.

I live by the sea and once saw a heron eating an eel, took 10-15 mins of tussle considering the eel was at least 2 feet long.

I think F is a Little Grebe or Dab chick. Just my opinion.

Actually the sums worked out with the list dodderangler gave me, so it looks like it is definitely a grass duck.
