  6. Beautiful images of a magnificent species which aren't found in Australia. I also haven't seen Eider ducks in France, but that is not to say that they're not there.

  9. Great pictures of the wing extension! I think it's horrible that people use their feathers for comforters and pillows!

  17. Eiders are such contrasting but pretty ducks, male or female. And I just love their calling at this time of year.
