Continuing, beautiful male coming into its breeding plumage. Large black-and-white duck with an orange-ish bill, does not have a "knob" on its beak like it does in full breeding plumage. Closely associating with the White-winged Scoters, the Eider was on the tertiaries of a flock of those scoters. The strong waves were battering the bird, in fact, our view was getting constantly obstructed by the waves. Have poor digiscoped photos as well. Here is a video I uploaded on Youtube to show how bad the scoping conditions were, the King Eider is visible in the first few seconds: https://youtube.com/shorts/aX-EfkT1Q_I?feature=share
