Eiderente * Somateria mollissima - a photo on Flickriver

            Mit über 2 Kilo ist die Eiderente unsere schwerste Meeresente. Sie ist leicht erkennbar an der dreieckigen Kopfform mit einer sehr hohen Schnabelwurzel. Die Erpel tragen fast ganzjährig ihr kontrastreiches Prachtkleid.  Der Name hat übrigens nichts mit dem Fluss Eider zu tun, sondern leitet sich vom isländischen Gott Ägir ab.

At over 2 kilos, the eider duck is our heaviest sea duck. It is easily recognizable by the triangular head shape with a very high beak root. The male duck wear their high-contrast splendor almost all year round.  Incidentally, the name has nothing to do with the river Eider, but derives from the Icelandic god Aegir.
