Black-throated Diver's mini-break at Stewartby Lake

A couple of dodgy record-shots of the Black-throated Diver's brief trip to Stewartby Lake on 27th October 2007 , just long enough to give me a new "self-found" bird for the lake, as well as a great addition to my "cappuccino-list" of birds seen from the visitor's centre cafe which it flew past on the way to the main lake .. :-) photos by Martin Green.
