This is my 2500 posts, thank you for your support.
A rare sight in Britain, though there was a couple of them breeding at RSPB site in southern England this year.

Eider Duck (Somateria mollissima)
He has a deep voice, wwwwooooopppps.
The UK's heaviest duck, and its fastest flying. It is a true seaduck, rarely found away from coasts where its dependence on coastal molluscs for food has brought it into conflict with mussel farmers. Eiders are highly gregarious and usually stay close inshore, riding the swell in a sandy bay or strung out in long lines out beyond the breaking waves. It is an Amber List species because of its winter concentrations.
