Heike Odermatt - Common Eider
One of the common eider males from Longyearbean (Svalbard). You can find the common eider colony close to the dog cages. The eiders have chosen this place because they are more safe for the Arctic Foxes between the dogs.

Very unusual image of an Eider Duck. I like the colors and the light - really good!

Just such a fantastic light up there, must go sometime, nice dim effect of foreground, nice colours, quite common in Norway the eider, but hard to get good photos of, loved this one.

I love such photos that include environment in a way that makes you just want to be there. And this photo does that beuaituflly with the melting snow on the mountains slopes behind the male Eider.
