Red-throated diver — size comparison — facts and sources

The red-throated diver nests beside small tundra lakes and uses the sea outside breeding. It eats fish and aquatic invertebrates.

Nests lie immediately beside water. Chicks swim early but remain fed and protected by adults. Calls support contact and territory defence, varying with situation rather than merely a partner’s presence.
