Hi all,
I was luckily in the Highlands in early May when the White-Billed Diver was present at Burghead, so popped down to see it. Distant but good views.I took a few pictures hoping one or two would come out. I've just been looking through these and come up with a conundrum that I'm sure you can answer.
Picture 1 is the WBD. I thought, when taking Picture 2 this was also the WBD - pictures taken only 3 minutes apart - but suddenly the throat markings have moved from the back of the neck to the front of the neck:eek!: Also, the bird in Picture 2 appears to be slimmer. I can't find any Diver in Collins that matches this. What am I looking at in Picture 2?
Cheers
John
