Went over to Weedon Bec,Northants on Sunday afternoon for the adult Black Stork & was rewarded with good flight views but no pics,but only the 2nd iv'e seen in Britain with the last being in 1990. Spent most of today at Shustoke Reservoir photographing the Black-throated Diver which after givin Kev Groocock & myself the runaround for several hrs finally came in & fed just ft from the shoreline!
