Quack-tastic Gathering - The Annual Eider Drake Convention!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this lively and captivating photo print, we witness the ultimate winter party for our feathered friends - the Eider Drakes! These dapper ducks have flocked together from all corners of Scotland to create a raucous raft on the stunning coastline. And boy, do they know how to make a splash! With their vibrant plumage shimmering under the golden sun, these male eiders are in full-on squabble mode. It's like watching a feathery version of WrestleMania as they jostle for attention, preen their magnificent feathers, dive into the chilly waters, and flap around with unmatched enthusiasm. This lone British bird steals the show by calling out to his comrades in an attempt to establish himself as king of this floating kingdom. His voice echoes across the sea while his fellow eiders listen intently or join in with their own quacks of approval. It's truly remarkable how these somateria mollissima come together every winter for such an extraordinary gathering. They remind us that even in nature, socializing is key - whether you're diving headfirst into icy waves or engaging in some friendly competition over who has the most fabulous plumage. So grab your popcorn and enjoy this avian extravaganza captured by Philip Price! Just don't forget to bring your best quacking skills if you want to fit right in with these charismatic eider drakes.
