Excellent timing, great detail + I like the water drops flying off the wings - super shot Clive.

I've seen these brilliant birds in Scotland only from a great distance. A great find and a great shot!

The diver showed extremely well, to the point where I couldn't fit it in the viewfinder.....round the wrong side of the lake, with the sun right in my eyes. Eventually I had no choice but to go round the other side and wait for it to go into the middle. It didn't show as well from that side, this shot is cropped a bit, but it was still reasonably close.
