The eiders were very vocal at the fish dock in Amble, the males all displaying to the females, making their comical noises. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_QIsTyfcqndTZrP3xIbK_DKZO_igwSnyRsDpsiQze2tFE40V-z1lm2CQF2LWZh_tpHwsPvqRXPdU4YMIPwy3Pb8-fcd5iLyVM9JkcI1IVcg-NiB4Xo1hgWQdsh8ryAH0-OvoeQF1yMBOd/s400/eider_male_web.jpg)
