A Black-throated Diver had
been found at Swithland Reservoir on Christmas Eve and was still present
yesterday and so Dave and I had decided to go this morning to hopefully see it.
Whilst I was waiting for Dave,
Roger called to say he was there and the bird was still present, which was good
news. When we arrived the early mist had
become much denser but Roger was watching the bird just off the dam. As the fog began to clear the bird moved
further out but eventually came back just before we were about to leave and I
was able to get a few shots of the bird, which was clearly a juvenile. There was still at least five Scaup and two
brown-headed Goosander but very little else.
