Eider and the Long tailed Duck

 I was cruising the Clare coast looking for birds , I knew of an Eider that has been seen in Kilkee so I parked up and checked the bay.
 The Eider was only a few metres off the beach ,as I walked down to get some photos  a Long tailed Duck joined the Eider whom at 1st wasnt to impressed and hunted the LtD which gave me some flight shots, but it all soon calmed down

It was nice to get a fine day after the recent weather.

I headed to Seafield for a beach walk , and to see the wintering waders, etc

A Long tailed Duck was off the harbour depth ,ducking and diving, feeding up after recent storms at sea
