Came across this apparent Black-Throated Diver x Great Northern Diver hybrid, whilst carrying out Black-Throated Diver surveys in the Scottish Highlands this week. It was present with three other Black-Throated Divers and a pretty striking individual!
โ ๏ธ THE HIGHEST SOMERSET SCORE.....EVER!!!!! โ ๏ธ
Tom Banton moves past Justin Langer and reaches an incredible 343 not out. History!

Pretty sombre sight this morning, the Brรผnnich's Guillemot is still in Scrabster Harbour this morning but looking a bit poorly...it did dive several times but with no real impetus.
EMPTY LEDGES. First visit to North Sutor colony revealed the extreme impact bird flu, storms and rising sea temps have had on seabirds. Cormorants down by 36% to only 86 nests, shags by 60% to 60 nests and Guillemots down by a massive 83% on last year.
