Gavia stellata · Icelandic: Lómur
A slim, elegant diver with an eerie wailing call.
Habitat: Small moorland pools and lochs | Season: Apr–Oct
Nests right at the water's edge on tiny pools, then flies out to feed at sea. Gives an eerie, wailing call.
Because its legs are set so far back for diving, a Red-throated Diver can barely walk on land and must nest within a step of the water.
