I captured this eider earlier on this dull evening. Its good to see them finally come from the molt period and prepare for the winter ahead. Thanks for having a look

Nice preening pose, great looking plumage.

Nice timing on the pose, nice details on the duck - one I've yet to get. I see you pulled the trigger on a 500mm f4!

Beautiful pose, lovely subtle colors. What an elegant bird well captured!
