I've spent a couple of very Dick-Callum-esque days this week. A red throated diver is spending a couple of weeks at a reservoir up the road! Apparently somebody found it exhausted in a field and popped it up to the reservoir. It'll no doubt fly off in the next few days, heading for Scotland. But in the mean time it's affording some incredible views. And in its winter plumage it might as well be a Great Northern! Took a bit of film of it so will try and post it on YouTube and give a link in the next few days.
