Gavia immer, Croatia (1 Viewer)

Well-known member
Hello!
I took a photo of a diver few days ago, and experienced birders told me it's Great northern diver (Gavia immer), and that is very rare in Croatia, just 3 observatiions in 1960's. (This bird is on photo 1)

Today I took some other photos of the bird, and I'm not sure - so now I'm checking whether it's the same bird. I think it is.

Photo 1: Gavia immer, confirmed by ornithologists few days ago
Photo 2: bird observed today at almost the same place
Photo 3: with Gavia arctica, for comparation
Photo 4: with Gavia arctica, for comparation (2)
Photo 5: bird observed today at almost the same place (2)

Thank you very much for help!
