~Gavia immer~

A very large bird with a wingspan of 120-150 cm and very difficult too photograph. I have only seen 3 pairs and they tend to swim around the middle of large lakes. I have managed to photograph this bird once so far this year.

Iceland is the only breeding site in the eastern Atlantic but does winter around the coast of the British Isles.

 

Thanks for stopping by, comments are much appreciated.
