Walking the dog on Kames Bay, Millport, with Marine Parade
Red throated diver (Gavia stellata) coming out of the water on to the land, Hoy, Orkney. Notice the rearward positioning of its legs, which make it a superb swimmer but awkward on land. This photo was taken from a great distance with a long lens so as not to disturb the bird. This species is on Schedule 1 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act, Scotland, and it is an offence to disturb it while on or near a nest.
