This is a different species of Eider but I can't recall the name. Thanks for looking, Sylvia

. Two super captures of this rather well plumaged bird. Carol
Not only is this a colourful, sharp image for me it emphasises the value of good photography, it allows me to see things I may not normally see, clear, close and in detail, and I can look at it for as long as I want to, it is not going to wander, fly or swim off.
Bloomin good detail here, love the water beads 
Quote: Fairly certain this is a drake King Eider (Somateria spectabilis) , ive seen one only once very distant at sea. wonderful photograph.
Thank you, much appreciated.
I've not seen this type of eider duck before, he certainly has some unusual markings
