in the 40 years I have been watching the local pits I have seen just 8 Great Northern Divers but the latest was in Feb and April this year so it was a good job that someone was out birding this morning (my excuse I was editing the 2008 Lincs Bird Report) so after a quick phone call I managed to get a few shots of this juv before it decided that the pits were not the place for it and it flew off in advance of a heavy rain and hail storm --also on the patch on the Humber today 15+ C Scoter, 2 Scaup, Bonxie west (ND) adult Med Gull Chowder and a Peregrine on the bridge tower this evening so a decent haul in the rather less than pleasant weather
