Monday December 24

Sunny with hardly a breeze.

A rare event: Lyn came birding with me. We were of course twitching the Black-throated Diver, and it was late afternoon. The bird couldn't have been more co-operative. It was swimming around off the visitor centre and we were able to view from the opposite bank.

It was diving frequently but on one occasion popped up right in front of us.

A nice by-product of twitches is that you often get to see birders you know. This afternoon, Nick Barlow from Marsh Lane Gravel Pit had been unable to resist making his second ever visit to Arrow Valley Lake. It was good to catch up.
