I photographed these birds last winter (end of January) and didn't think much of it but now I'm really getting into the seaducks and was going through some old files. Sorry about the awful quality - this is when I was really an "amatuer" photog!

Luke,
You got it. Looks like a mix of molting males and maybe a female. Definitely Common Eider.

Yep. Dresseri subspecies, moulting from eclipse to primary plumage. One, possibly two females.
