MinÀ suojelen sinua kaikelta. I will protect you from everything.
Upea haahkanaaras ja emot yleensÀkin panostavat poikastensa hyvinvointiin kaikkensa, lajista riippumatta. Kotkat, suuret lokit sun muut pedot ovat uhkana haahkan poikasten selviytymiselle puhumattakaan ihmisen vaikutuksesta mereen ja luontokatoon yleensÀ. MitÀ voisimme tehdÀ?

The magnificent female eider, and bird parents generally do everything they can to ensure the well-being of their young chicks, regardless of the species. Eagles, large gulls and other predators are a threat to the survival of eider chicks, not to mention human impact on the sea and the loss of biodiversity in general. What can we do?

Ei omena puusta kauas putoa? Like father, like son (or daughter)?
Koirashaahka viihtyi poikasten ja niiden emon kanssa, voiskohan olla iskÀ? Suurin osa koiraista on jo lÀhtenyt takaisin kauas avomeren luodoille. Joillakin on syytÀ vielÀ olla pesintÀpaikkojen lÀhistöllÀ.

The male eider was enjoying the company of chicks and their mother, could he be a dad? Most of the males have already returned to the far offshore islets. Some still have reasons to be near of the nesting sites, closer to human habitat.

“What a Long Face You Have”
A common eider, a bird we saw frequently in Iceland. This male is on the southern coast, but we saw them everywhere.

Haahkapariskunta. A pair of eiders.
Haahkat tulevat kevÀÀllÀ ulkosaaristosta pesimÀÀn mantereen ja ihmisasutusten lÀhistöille. Se ehkÀ luo turvaa pesintÀÀn, kun ulkoluodoilla uhkana ovat kotkien lisÀksi myös minkkipopulaatiot ja naaraiden stressi (koiraita vaikuttaa vuosi vuodelta olevan enemmÀn kuin naaraita) ja muut hÀiriötekijÀt.

In the spring, eiders come from the outer archipelago to nest near the mainland and human settlements. This may provide safety for nesting, as the distant islets are threatened not only by eagles but also by mink populations and stress on females (there seem to be more male than females every year) and other disturbances.
