As I was going to the Library...

... this Red-throated Diver was fishing in North Ford. Not quite as sharp as I would like but it was a fair way away.
Spring must be coming as the bird is close to being in full breeding plumage. Not quite yet the immaculate pin-striped look with the deep red throat but getting there. Always a really stunning bird in Summer.
Another day pottering in the garden and starting to think about leaving for France.
