1. The birds in the water look like Cormorants (though maybe a Shag on the left?). The bird in flight looks like a diver but I wouldn't want to say which species.
2. This also looks like a Cormorant
Where were the pictures taken?

Second pic is definitely (Great) Cormorant, possibly with something in its bill or the bill half open.
First pic, definitely 3 Cormorants on the water and a diver sp in flight, but the bird behind the Cormorants keeps flipping when I look at it between another diver and a cormorant at a deceptive angle (facing more towards the camera than the others)... if it is a diver I think it would have to be a Red-throated on bill size/shape?

My guess would be Stag Rocks by Bamburgh, but getting this info from the source is like getting blood out of a stone, in my past experience . . .

Northumbs is a large county; what's likely at one site can be very different to another. Please give site names when asking for identifications. I can't see what your persistent, repeated objection to doing so is? Do you regard where you go birding as some sort of classified secret to stop other birders wanting to go to the same places or something? It really isn't helpful, either for yourself, or for others trying to help you.

Maybe he doesn't want YOU to know. Speaking about any forum user in that way isn't likely to get the information you seem to think you are entitled too 8-P

Sorry if I came over rather badly, but detailed location really does help - thanks for adding it in the future :t:
