A cracker of a picture this Tom. They're gorgeous, aren't they.

I'm hoping might see one this summer on my holidays... though we call them 'divers' here LOL. It's more likely I'll see red or black-throated ones!

Nice one lad, thanks.

Very nicely captured during the rain shower. I hope you were dry ;)

A lovely low angled shot with great detail, Thomas.

Definitely closer than I'm able to get with our loons! This is wonderful even in the rain.

They are so spectacular! Hopefully we'll see some in Alaska in a few weeks.
