Observation details
Presumed continuing bird or possibly birds. I have no experience with this species but the smaller size vs. Common Eiders present, the dramatic white eyebrow, the grinning gape and the quite prominent white curling stripe behind the eye all look good to me for King Eider female, which has been seen here quite regularly over recent days and weeks. Photos are uncropped and unedited from a rather mediocre super-zoom point-and-shoot. I believe all these images are of the same individual, although some are from the beginning of my visit and others from the end, so I cannot say with absolute certainty.
