I was lucky enough to get some closer shots of a Red Throated Diver on Saturday. This is either a juvenile or an adult returning to winter plumage, but either way, a lovely bird to see close up, and one that isn't that common, though the Norfolk Coast seems to have had a large influx this month.

All lovely shots Kev. I like the fourth shot the most with just the head visible. Now I'd like to request one with a fish in its mouth please :)
 
It looked a lot like a loon and I checked and found that it is. You call it a diver, we call it a loon. Love the laughing call and can they ever swim underwater. Nice series.
 
I like the one where its looking directly at you like, "OK mate, that's enough paparazzi shots for today" :LOL:
 
Cheers guys. Tim. I'll try! Sandy, yes, exactly the same bird. Chris, it's a definite "what are you looking at!"
 
Nice set Kev saw quite a few myself this last week especially at Cley.

Yep. We went to Cley on Wednesday. Quite a few there, plus Gannets, Razorbills and Guillemot.
