The birds were on show immediately and at times came really close during their feeding cycle, particularly the 2 juvenile birds which regularly were seen feeding around the fishing pontoons close to shore. Interestingly, they were regularly producing a single-noted contact call which was cool and something I hadn't observed before. It was good to see the adult too. I can't actually think of a time when I've seen another inland adult so a probable first for me.
Sods law dictated on the weather/light side of things unfortunately. It was clear pretty much everywhere except for a big dull, grey lump of cloud sat over the early morning sun. Typical!
Thankfully, 20 minutes before I had to leave, the cloud cleared allowing the opportunity to enjoy and photograph the divers in nice, golden winter sunshine.
