We found so many pairs of Red-Throated Divers, most had young out on the water ..
Six adults on what was just a large puddle and I found a creche pool with 9 young birds with 1 adult ...
We found a small lake not far from where we were based, we watched the bird, checking its routine, then did a trial run which went well, so we backed out to return in the morning ...
The following morning was dull and overcast, but after a lengthy approach all the way in prone, I finally push my lens out through the long grass and was treated to a 1 on 1 with the diver, at times to close to fit it in the frame, twice preening itself and a wing stretch all fantastic to watch but the bird had moved so close to me it was impossible to frame it ..
A great experience ...
