Adult Common Eider Ducks with several offspring: for example, yesterday =
2 adults, and 18 then 20+ offspring being herded about along the shore =
and often well offshore too. We do not own a camera that would do this =
scene justice. The closest we get in our boat might be 4-500ft: we have =
not tested approaching as we expect it would cause considerable stress, =
the young haven't had flight training.=20
Cheers, Barbara and Pat
