  • Eider drake floating on the currents in a small bay on the Northumberland coastline. Eider Drake : About Eider Ducks: The Eider Duck is the UK's largest and heaviest duck and in fact is the largest duck found in the whole of the northern hemisphere. Despite their large size they are also the fastest flying of our native ducks. They are very rarely found far from the coast as they rely heavily on their main food source, molluscs, a dependence which as sadly brought them into conflict with mussel farmers. Eider ducks were once highly prized for their incredibly soft and warm eiderdown; used to fill pillows, quilts and winter jackets. This practice has now been largely replaced by the modern use of down taken from goose farms and synthetic alternatives. However some niche producers still continue this age old practice as eiderdown harvesting is completely sustainable and causes little to no disturbance as it can be done after the ducklings leave the nest.

  • Little and large Eider Ducks. Eider duck and her duckling in Seahouses Harbour. Strangely the birds wouldn't come anywhere near my camera on a remote shutter, but as soon as I picked it up they allowed me to get extremely close to them for this wide angle image.

  • A tender moment between a pair of shags as they strengthen their bond. Nothumberland, UK. During the summertime around 150,000 breeding pairs of seabirds flock to the Farne Islands to nest. With such huge numbers crammed onto these tiny islands they are undoubtedly one of the best places in the UK to get close to sea birds. About Shags: Often confused with the much larger Cormorants, shags have emerald green eyes and dark green glossy plumage with a distinctive crest on the front of their heads. During the breeding season they flock to coastal sites where they gather in vast numbers.
