The Swedish name of this bird is "Little loon". But in English it is called "Red-throated loon." At a distance, and in a certain light, the neck just looks dark. However, when the light falls in the right way, like in this image, you can see the intense red field on the throat that has given it its name.
På engelska heter denna fågel "rödstrupig lom". På håll, och i visst ljus, ser halsen bara mörk ut. Men faller ljuset på rätt sätt, ser man, som på denna bild, ett mörkrött fält på halsen.
