Wildlife wardens have completed an annual duck count as they bid to better understand the birds' behaviour.

A total of 269 eider duck nests have been found on Coquet Island, a mile (0.6km) off the coast of Northumberland, as the birds return there to breed.

Roughly equating to 269 breeding females, that number is a drop on last year's 333, the RSPB said, but similar to 2024 when there were 252 nests.
