With news that the Whitacre Pools Great Northern Diver had relocated to Shustoke Reservoir with a bonus female Scaup also present Donna & myself set off however on arrival the heavens opened & we spent the 1st hour sheltering in the car,there was a break but only for about 5mins enough time to relocate the Scaup but no sign of the Diver.....A few snatched photos of the Scaup & then a fun txt of Steve Haynes asking if I was happy with this bird after the 2014 Hybrid bird!! Curiosity got the better of me so I compared photos sure enough it was the same bird even more curious it was still showing signs especially on the bill of being a 1st winter............
