| | | Bird diving in Scottish Loch
Hi, ive just reurned from a trip to Scotland & I saw this bird diving in Loch Awe near Oban on Sunday.
I thought it might be a member of the 'Diver' family but the bill looks different so im looking for help please.
Thanks  |

Its a 1st year bird with pale underparts this most likely lead to your confusion. |

Thanks for the replies people.
I had thought of a Cormorant but had only ever seen them coloured black, the neck & throat colouring threw me off the scent!!
Thanks again |

Thanks Seamus, that was another reason Id ruled out Comorant, I thought they were salt water birds.
Cheers | | |
