Just a few miles down the road from Lunt Meadows, we moved on to Crosby Marine Lake for what had been a long staying Black-throated Diver. These are a bird I usually see at some distance out at sea and usually with the aid of a telescope. On this occasion, the inland marine lake meant the bird came considerably closer while it was doing it's laps. A bit of patience required, but it came very close a number of times, and what's more, the sun was in the right place too. A cracking looking bird, and one I was delighted both see, and get on my year list so early in January.
Congrats on your sighting, the Diver is a great bird. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteI not only find the bird beautiful, but also the waves. What a wonderful combination. Nice photos. https://momentsfrozentime.blogspot.com/
