English: Eider Ducks Eider Ducks
These handsome sea ducks have a long association with the North East coast and can be seen in several locations, including Harkness Rocks. On the Northumberland coast the eider population is currently between 1,500-2,000 nesting birds. The Eider duck was protected by to St Cuthbert, an early Northumbrian saint, who offered them sanctuary on the Farne Islands in the seventh century.
