Black-throated Diver with Common Scoter, Ballinskelligs Bay, 28th January 2017 (Pat McDaid).
Some of the few, or perhaps even the ONLY photos of Black-throated Diver ever to be taken in The Kingdom. Alhtough a regular but scarce winter visitor to certain parts of Ireland such as Galway Bay, it is actually a good bit rarer than Surf Scoter in Kerry, averaging only one to three claims per winter in recent years.
