A few more from Shetland, of a bird I was most hoping to see during my time there. I'll be back again in the Summer next year, and very much hope to catch up with them again.
As per my earlier posts of this bird, these photos were taken under controlled circumstances and under the provision of a Schedule 1 license holder.
Surprised to witness the ungainly spectacle of this stunning water bird clambering on to dry land! This didn't last long before it slipped back into its comfort zone amongst the waves. Norfolk coast in late November (UK) (5446)

One of the most difficult and frustrating locations to shoot. Dark, no natural light with smeared and scratched tank glass.

Series of six. My first Red-throated Diver. Interesting to be able to compare it with the Black and Northern at the same time. This is definitely my favourite of the pics.
This morning I watched this young Osprey trying to catch a fish. This youngster has a lot of practice ahead although its technique looks good on this unsuccessful attempt. The adults usually have breakfast with one dive.
Isle of Coll, Scotland. A breeding pair nest on a small inland loch, so whenever i drove past i used to take a look, caught up with them on about the 7th drive by. Half an hour later, rain set in in for the day which was par for the course with my Coll trip, though it is to be expected as it is Scotland.
