Audenshaw Reservoirs

Black-throated Diver 1 juv.
Goldeneye 3
Goosander 2 (m&f)


It was a struggle to stand up at times in the wind, it was dull, it was rainy. Not surprising therefore that this is the best photo I could manage of the Black-throated Diver, only my third in the North West. The first was also at Audenshaw Reservoirs on 18th January 1987. The second spent most of February 1996 on Prescot Reservoirs, but did commute to Eccleston Mere and even Taylor Park. At least the photo clearly shows the white patch at the back of the bird.
