As much as I like clean BG's I do like these also where I can see part of the bird's habitat. This one would be nice even without the snow. Well done.

Agree with Mikko, it's nice to see where these guys live from time to time. This is a bird I would love to get a chance at.

Very nice, great looking Common Eider, love the snow and super low angle. Pano crop works well too.
