The Perfect Present

Having cleaned his boat for the Christmas break my son ask if i would like to have an hour out on the river. Well with reports of Divers and Auks recently being seen i jumped at the chance. And within a few minutes i was watching a pair of Great Northern Divers. And it didn't take long for the Red Throated Divers to show. Although its never easy on the water with all the movement i was pleased with these shots. So after 60 mins i was back on dry land and feeling very pleased with the results. And to be honest properly the best gift you could get me. 

Divers in the Deep.

Clear skies and a high tide, plus 4 Red-Throated Divers made my walk to Moon beach, East Mersea worthwhile yesterday. I watched them diving and fishing for about an hour then as the tide started to fall, i made my way further along the seawall to the pillbox at Coopers beach. From here i was able to walk out on to the sand spit to photograph them a little closer as they swam past heading towards Brightlingsea.
