The Common Eider is a large sea duck, which is distributed over
the northern coasts of Europe, North America and eastern
Siberia. It breeds in Arctic and some northern temperate
regions, but winters somewhat further south in temperate zones,
when it can form large flocks on suitable coastal waters. The
nest is built close to the sea, and is lined with the celebrated
eiderdown, plucked from the female's breast. For more
