Great Northern Diver Staines

I added Great Northern Diver to the year list with a stop at Staines Reservoir. The bird was tucked up in the eastern corner of south Basin when I arrived but took no more 5 minutes to locate as I scanned the other birds getting past Gadwall, Goldeneye, Tufted, Coot, Cormorant and Great Crested Grebe before landing on the diver to give me tick 163 for 2013.

A couple more pictures as I get a little practice in with the new kit.
