that whitish patch by the neck might actually be white on the neck, I had assumed it was the sea.
It is the sea - the pale line extends all the way around the bird - its a Photoshop artifact.

who made you the boss?
I think you made a right hash of unexplaining that.
Good point.
Just the basics is a dark bird with a square pale bit on the cheek and a fairly pale bill.
BUT... All this nonsense is fun, isn't it? Certainly served to cheer me up no end!
enlarging images does nothing to help, I can't find anything in my field guide with a sky blue halo on a green and purple bird that has random white patches including a dribble of white going all down its neck.
(But just to help it along to page 4 ... )
Oh no, not the puns, please anything but the puns......
is this the way to page 4?
LOL!
Somehow I don't think this thread can ever be serious again! :cat:
Too many rascally rascals have got to it!
Gropperwinch is a brilliant username! Thanks about the blog Liam. I became confused and I think I broke it! :-C
Well I did try and turn it into a BTD when I was being serious! But the Cormorant Posse warned me off and I got real scared. :eek!:
From what Cactus Dave said, he was sure he had seen a Diver spp, that it wasn't a Cormorant, and he described white flashes on the flanks. Dave sounds trustworthy and a nice bloke. So if he's sure it was a diver, that can only leave BTD. Based on his testimony, and completely disregarding the photo.
I mean, if you just had Dave's words by way of description? What would you surmise???
GropperWinch's last lifer was a BTD. So I think he knows more than all of us!
There you go! Half serious, half muckin' about!
A balanced post if ever I saw one! :t:
PS GW said the funniest thing I've seen all year on BF.
"Now, everyone say something serious, and afterwards roll on a ton more crap to make it to page four!"
Had to change trousers after that!

And you aren't really Malcolm in the Middle are you, by any chance?
