Great Northern Diver

I only managed to get out once for photography in December 2021 and that was on the 14th, two days after a Great Northern Diver had been reported at Farmoor Reservoir, Oxfordshire.

 

It was an overcast day with low light.

 

I located the Diver very quickly and spent the first 45 minutes observing it on my own. This Great Northern Diver is a star bird for Farmoor.

 

The Common Loon or Great Northern Diver is a large member of the loon, or diver, family of birds.

 

This Great Northern Diver was reported as a Juvenile.
