DOVER DIVERS

I almost stayed in bed on Sunday morning but eventually got to the seafront at about 1030, a few GCGrebes were bobbing about,but when I got to the pier another bird suddenly appeared,about twice the size of the grebes large bill,steep forhead,flat crown-GREAT NORTHERN DIVER,it swam towards the shore near the rowing club,then did an about turn and swam back out then took off, flew out towards the western entrance and away.
 GREAT NORTHERN DIVER



 UP UP AND AWAY

 TWO SHAGS FOR THE PRICE OF ONE
 GUILLEMOT IN WELLINGTON DOCK


 Today in the Wellington dock a little grebe another guillemot and a shag joined the red breasted merganser and the numerous cormorants there.

 A SCOTTISH SHAG

 This shag is ringed with a blue ring HFN,apparently fitted in Scotland,the last ringed one here had been ringed on the Isle of May
SHAGS ARE SUCH ENTHUSIASTIC DIVERS
Meanwhile back to Saturday morning on the pier- just a few more kittiwakes bothered the camera


 and

YANG MING WARMTH came close to drop off her pilot.
