The common eider (Somateria mollissima) is a large (50–71 cm (20–28 in) in body length) sea-duck that is distributed over the northern coasts of Europe, arctic North America, north-eatern Siberia, Iceland and Greenland. It breeds in Arctic and some northern temperate regions.

It can fly at speeds up to 113 km/h (70 mph).

 

This bird is really amazing and I'm so happy with the photo I got from it.
