Hi Dunlin,

Nice set, I've not had the chance to photo an Eider duck as yet. Furthest North was Northumberland this year but didn't spy one.

Good capture with the duck.

Thanks.

I actually didn't go especially hunting for them, I just happened to see a couple at St. Andrews.

I took the photo from the end of the harbour wall (or would you call it a mole?). There's a walkway you can walk along (what's in a name? ). I took this photo (the same one as already shown) near the end, from about the same position I took the eider.

There was also a male eider, but he was too far away for me to get a worthwhile photo of with my 300mm lens.
