Having had a bit of an exhausting day I nearly didn't go Deeping Highbank way home this afternoon. I'm glad I did as I stumbled upon my third ever local Red-throated Diver (and my first Diver find of any flavour locally). Usually coastal in the winter, presumably this morning's fog caught this beast off guard. It was very obliging and calling frequently. Having found it at 15.35, after a preen, a flap and bathe it flew off upstream at around 16.25 and despite an extensive search I couldn't relocate it.
