Nice and sharp. Always liked seeing these when I use to go to Orkney.

Don't know if its time of day but male image looks a tad 'warm'.

Nice pair Steve

Re: Male and Female Eider Duck

Loads of these both at Slimbridge and Arundel WWT and always difficult to get good detail with the male like you have managed. Looks like the light was just right

Re: Male and Female Eider Duck

Thanks Nat , Ant , Jeff and Stan . The light was excellent Stan , taken during the golden hour of early morning sunrise and the birds were close which helped.
