Hi Roy,
ReplyDeleteWow, I do love all the pictures of the Eiders, but...the Great Northern Diver is absolutely amazing!!
Beautifully captured! Great pictures of the seagulls as well. Especially the Iceland Gull and the European the Shag diving ;-) It is superb..
Best regards,
Maria
A beautiful set of images, John. I dont think I've ever seen a GND in the state of plumage shown in the first of the two images - wonderful! You've got me wishiing I lived closer to the sea - you can't get much further from the sea in UK than I am. My best wishes to you both for 2020 - - - Richard
