Black throated
Diver
Garvia arctica. Status: very
scarce in summer, more frequent in winter and on passage.
The last confirmed breeding
record was in 1972. However there is some more recent information which
suggests probable breeding at an undisclosed site on Mull |
Black throated Diver in summer
plumage.
Mainly a winter visitor to Mull's
shores and sea lochs, with occasional birds staying throughout the summer.
It's always worth scanning the lochs with a scope to look out for this
magnificent bird.
