"The success of a wild bird in Scotland despite declining numbers in the rest of Europe has mystified experts.

RSPB Scotland said it was delighted but puzzled by breeding figures for the red-throated diver. The rarer black-throated diver is also on the increase, possibly thanks to the anchoring of man-made rafts in lochs."
