em baixo, antigas ilhotas

penso que será assim mas não tenho contexto
Peer comment(s):

neutral Paul Dixon : I doubt if "down" means "em baixo" here. I think the meaning could be, as we are talking about ducks: (Michaelis, page 109): down [daun]: penugem, penas. Maybe the context is that of "ilhotas cheias de penas". As Isabel said, context is needed.

Ilhotas/ilhéus de Old Down

Opção

Creio que "old down" seja um nome próprio. Se maior contexto não é possível uma tradução mais precisa.

- The eiders are sea ducks found across the arctic and subarctic zones of the northern hemisphere

ilhas antigas e cheias de penas (de patos)

I know an answer has already been given and accepted, but I could not help feeling a need to shed some light on the phrase - see my comment.
