On a recent trip to St Cyrus we saw lots of Eider ducks. These beauties feed on Mussels and other molluscs and live for around 18 years!

They are beautiful ducks and make a wonderful ooooh oooooh sound. Hear it on the RSPB website here https://www.rspb.org.uk/birds-and-wildlife/eider

We will have the dates of next year's tours up soon - watch this space.

What a sight!
