Common Eiders visit Bridlington Harbour - 21st March 2020


Common Eiders also known as St. Cuthbert's Ducks or Cuddy Ducks (as I prefer to call them) are fantastic sea ducks. What a pleasure it was to see four drakes in Bridlington Harbour entrance this morning. I had walked Symphony around the harbour early morning and not seen them, but I was alerted by a message from local lass Kerry W that she had seen them. Taking a break from setting up our market stall, I headed back down and found them in the harbour entrance. The water here was quite choppy and gave rise to some excellent photographic opportunities!
