White-billed Diver no.2

Well to make up for the speck on the Moray Firth last week, this time found a cracking bird just a few hundred yards offshore in Little Loch Broom. Lovely monster banana bill glistening in the sunlight as it fished for crabs. Was a diver bonanza with over 40 Great Northerns also in the area, several Black-throats though as much as we tried could not find a single Red-throated to get a full house. Typical, they turn up like buses everywhere then when you need one nothing.

Apparently a few Ospreys are already back in the area, basking in the unseasonal sunny weather and thinking they are still in Africa no doubt.

hey fella - nice wan on the wbd - they is cool birds all right! Last one i saw was in Peterhead Harbour - oh the glamour - would be great to get one over here. There was one knocking around Cape Clear a couple of winters ago but was tricky to pin down & i'm a lazy twitcher! Keep up the good work!
