Great Northern Diver 30-12-12

With the Juvenile Great Northern Diver still present and showing well at Ashby Ville Lake,Jacqui and myself decided on taking a short drive over.
We was soon on site with birders already present but a short wait was needed for the diver to show itself,so some banter was needed with Simon and Karen Spavin and Steve (the flusher) Routledge.Soon the diver started to show very well,a really well marked bird was simply stunning and a great lifer for Jacqui to see at close range,after a couple of hours we decided on heading off but our car had other ideas a big thanks to Steve and Simon for the push start,p.s it's in the garage now a great morning with great company.
