Divers/Grebes (Part One) - Fife (1 Viewer)

Well-known member
I am not very familiar with Divers/Grebes, especially in their winter plumage. In clearer photos, I identified R-T Divers and Slavonian Grebes for sure, but I am left with the attached photos (at distance in poor light) where I am not 100% sure for one reason or another.

Photo 1 - R-Ts?

Photo 2 - Bird furthest to the right looks to have peaked head, although beak still looks R-T to me?

Photo 3 - Dark half collar on this bird. Still a R-T?

Photo 4 - Bird to right of Scoter in flight. Is bill a little heavy or is it another R-T?

Photo 5 - Is that a dark collar?

Looking at the bills I'd say Red-throated. These divers can build up quite a number of individuals in the forth of Fife.
