The Eider Duck from which comes the eider-down, breeds on the coast of Scotland, the Farne Islands. The nest is built of dry grass, in the heather, and as incubation proceeds is lined with down from the breast of the dick. As soon as the ducks begin to sit, the drakes leave them and may then be seen in small companies
