Eider

Eider (Somateria mollissima)

Eider (Somateria mollissima)


The UK's heaviest and a true sea duck with a wedge-shaped bill, common round the coast all year and breed on Arran. They eat shellfish, especially mussels, which brings them into conflict with mussel farmers. They nest close to the sea and line them with eider down plucked from the female's breast.
