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.
West Kirby marine lake. This is one from my archive shots that was taken about 3 years ago and at about the same time of year. I wonder whether it is the same bird that is there now!
Thanks to all who have visited, commented or faved my photos. It is very much appreciated.
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)
Single image.
Melbourne Aquarium.
One of the most difficult and frustrating locations to shoot. Dark, no natural light with smeared and scratched tank glass.
Eglwys Nunydd Reservoir , Margam, Glamorgan. Bird has been around a week though I was put off from going initially by reports of birders being kicked off site and having to view from across the M4 motorway. There were a trickle of photos coming out which contradicted this and when a friend went the day before without problem i gave it a go, arriving pre dawn to try and evade security. Got off to a bad start when i was met by security on the track in, but they just asked if i wanted to come in through the gate ! (seems they are only kicking people out when there is sailing typically at weekends). So i did, went up to the res and there was the bird right in front of me. Light wasnt great but for the next 90 minutes it showed at point blank range. A very rare vagrant visitor with 9 previous records in Britain, a bit smaller than a GND and closely related to the BTD.

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.
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.
Tot drie dieselolietreinen per week rijdt Lineas/IRP vanaf Koole Tankstorage Minerals in Rotterdam-Pernis naar diverse Duitse bestemmingen. Bij het korte ritje van Koole naar emplacement Pernis worden de installaties van Exxon's concurrent Shell gepasseerd. Op 3 mei 2023 is die eer weggelegd voor Lineas/IRP 2201. De loc draagt nog altijd de uiterlijke kenmerken van een vorige huurder: Trainsupport.
