Suprise visitor

This young female Eider Duck ("Dunter" in the Shetland dialect) must have got lost in the fog, Never seen them out at open sea before, as the feed on Mussels etc they tend to stay pretty close in. I have not really seen one on its lonesome as they are usually in a group.
Anyway, she appeared out of the fog and settled in the calmer waters on our Lee and tucked her head back between her wing and had a rest. heres hoping the fog lifts & she gets her barings and makes it back to (I presume) Shetland
