Great northern diver at Rutland

This was taken on 11/04/04 from the dam

I've only once seen distant views of it so weren't you the lucky one, Dave!

Both this bird and the red-necked grebe were flushed close to the shore by a passing speedboat

One of the few occasions when a boat at Rutland proved useful to a birder!
