Great Northern Diver | Gavia immer | Plongeon imbrin | Eistaucher | Strolaga maggiore | Colimbo grande | Ijsduiker
River Welland, Crowland, Lincolnshire. 17.11.2004. Original blog post.

Divers are pretty rare in the PBC area but in the past couple of years we've had all three British species. This juvenile/first-winter Great Northern completed the hat-trick. We arrived on the scene at about 7am the day after the bird was found (it was just getting light) and joy of joys, it was still there. The light was terrible though and the need to get to work cut play short. However, we returned at lunchtime for another dose and things were much improved. See next photo...
