Red Throated Diver

Red-throated Diver (Gavia stellata)

Red-throated Diver (Gavia stellata)


The smallest of the UK's divers with a distinguishing red throat in summer. They breed on Arran and are monogamous and can be found round the coast all year. From the surface they usually jump-up to dive to feed on fish, amphibians, invertebrates and plant material and can stay underwater for up to a minute and a half. They are ungainly on land and only come ashore to breed where both members build the nest, incubate the eggs and feed the young.
