Although i have seen just over a dozen King Eider i have never seen one close enough to get a reasonable photo
Arriving at Scalloway I quickly picked up the King Eider with a small flock of common eider over the far side of the voe.
It was far too distant for a good photo but an incoming boat moved the flock closer just as it started to rain
It was already windy around a Force 5 + but the flock moved closer the fishmarket
We moved over to the other side of Scalloway and along the pier.
They continued to come a bit closer just as the wind and rain picked up
The King Eider was often separated from the common eider but eventually joined the flock again
