Silhouette (Somateria mollissima)

Had the sun in completely the wrong place for this picture, but couldn't do anything about it when these three ladies swam past.

I didn't get too many pictures of Eider on that trip. All the males seem to have disappeared completely. I guess they go elsewhere after they've done their breeding job!!

Lovely trio Delia, Tfs mf

When I went to Northern Island there were Eider Females with the little ones, but not a Male to be seen.

That's called "fun and run" ;)

Did we not see any up at Tautra? Hmmmm. I should have taken you to Inderya for those. There tend to be loads of them in the harbor area there. Or if we'd gotten out to the other end of Tautra, we might have seen them around the nesting boxes.
p.s. The village up at the north end of Smla is called Veiholmen. You've switched the e and i around.
