great northern diver (gavia immer), ireland
#gaviiformes#gaviidae#gavia#great northern diver#common loon#<- tagging that name for the americans out there#display flight#there were two foraging in the water below me and they didn't mind my presence at all#good thing about galway: city birds are usually more used to people and therefore easier to get photos of#also makes for some special experiences <3 being close to divers is so cool
