With the weather looking OK & the chance to get a near summer plumaged Great Northern Diver in the bag a couple of calls were made to Steve Seal (Me old mucker from days gone by now residing in deepest Staffs) Pete Walkden & Vince Garvey,with Pete & Vince agreeing to meet on site & Steve driving to mine! A nice steady drive thru thick fog it was looking ominous but eventually the fog lifted just outside Cheltenham to reveal sunshine & a call from Pete saying bird was showing well but flighty,luckily we were nearly there!! Arrived to find Pete & fellow Midlands Photographer Carl Day happily clicking away along with several others soon joining the merry throng!! A good few hours spent togging,laughing & catching up before we departed & headed for home......
