Common Eider

Somateria mollissima

Notes:

Took this photo when I visited Bass rock last year. I know the photo isn't the greatest, but can anyone suggest what these birds might be?

I love those birds. They are called Common Eider and there are 2 more species of the genus 'Somateria' which look even better. This is a great spotting.
