Great Northern Diver

Great Northern Diver (Gavia Immer)

Great Northern Diver (Gavia Immer)


Largest of the UK divers with a black head and chequered mantle, often seen further out to sea than other divers. It is a passing migrant around Arran. A specialist fish-eater that can dive up to 60 metres to catch its usual prey of rock fish, flounder, trout and herring. Usually nest on islands in Icelandic breeding grounds to reduce the risk of ground based predators getting to them.
