This is one from yesterday morning when we had some decent light in Scotland. The Eider are returning to the local harbour for the winter months, as are the Goldeneye. I always find, unless the weather is good light, its a waste of time spending it with the Eiders, as I find it difficult to 'show the eye' as it is the same colour as the very small, smooth head feathers. I got some good light yesterday and spent a few hours with them. I found it easier to get closer to the Eider, rather than the Goldeneye, who were very aware, even though I was hidden.
