Cool, though your shot is pretty dark on my monitor.

Dunlin,

Yes. That was intentional on my part.

Re: Caledonia

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.
