Possible Great Northern Diver ID

[dbozkurt]

Hi Folks

In Stornoway without any of my bird books so its over to you...just a warning might be on again later!!

With a 38mph freezing wind I followed this bird around Stornoway Harbour near the Cargo terminal. To get this close I perched on the edge of the harbour walk way brazing myself backwards against the wind. Is this a Great Northern Diver, or something else, I haven't got a photo of this bird so I will be pleased with what ever it might be, shame It did not get any closer, but there is a lot of engine oil etc. near the edge so I glad it didn't in one way. Sorry folks for the waffle here are the pictures.







Thanks Debs

Spot on Debs, looks like a GND to me. Very nice images too.

Yep, an immature bird but definitely GND. Cracking shots too.

I would go along with that too.
