  • Eider
    The Common Eider is a true sea duck, found on the sea coasts across Europe and parts of North America. They are hardly ever found away from their seacoast home. It's primary diet is molluscs, which has caused some conflict with mussle farmers. This is also Britain's fastest flying duck, found year round off the coasts.</br></br> This bird is most well-known for what it lines its nests with, eiderdown feathers. It was most prized for filling pillows and quilts, however these days replaced with alternatives and synthetics. This practice does still continue, however is now carefully done and sustainable as they remove the down from the nest after the fledglings have left - causing no harm to the young.
