Sighting Ref : IB85489
Sighting Date : 05 Jan 16
Common Name : Pacific Diver
Scientific Name : Gavia pacifica
Location : Tawin
County : Galway
Number Seen : 1
Principal Observer(s) : Paul Troake Not Specified
Reported By : Not Specified
Comments : Pacific Diver today close in off the north side of Tawin, Co. Galway, initially off the derelict quay on the northernmost part of the island, then between there and Kilcolgan Point, spending much time underwater. Given my previous sightings here in Apr 2012 and Apr 2014, and the lack of observer coverage at this site, it seems likely the bird is wintering here each winter.
Status : See IRBC Appendix 1
