Thank you for your compliment.  
Birds in London are not too afraid of human and even for wild birds like Mallard,  Tufted Duck, Rock Dove or Black-headed Gull, I could get close to just a few metres from the bird.

Thank you for your advice.  Yes, looks like it is Emperor Goose.  There is another bird (the one below Black-bellied Whistling Duck in my second batch of photographs) which I am asking WWT London Wetland Centre for help in identification.  Please see if you know this other bird as well.

I think it could be a White Faced Whistling Duck.

I'm heading over to the UK in late September so I may try to make a trip out to the London Wetland Centre to have a look around. Hopefully there will still be plenty of wintering birds around.

Once again thanks for the inspiring set of photos and information.

Dear Bandrew,
Thank you for your identification again.  If you visit London Wetland Centre in late September, there should still be lots of birds.  You may refer to my post in September 2014: http://www.hkbws.org.hk/BBS/viewthread.php?tid=21860
The Centre is divided into South Route and West Route.  South Route is mainly wild birds whereas West Route has both captive and wild birds.  Good luck to your trip next month.
