Adventdalen, Svalbard, 4 June 2013. The king eider photo of earlier today was not the last one at the lake.
The king eiders were in the company of common eiders and barnacle geese.
Reindeer not far away.
A grey phalarope.
A grey phalarope couple.
Finally, a swimming king eider male, waving us goodbye … at least as far as 4 June is concerned, as there will be more on Svalbard on this blog.
