Great Northern Diver (Loon)

We decided to walk the dog in a woods near Marazion today along with my son and his family. On the way we stopped of at Longrock pool and noticed the Great Northern Diver. I had left camera at home and only took the Binoculars which is typical of me. I gave Steve Rogers a text as I new he was looking for it yesterday and had no luck. On the way back from our walk I stopped off to see Steve and John Rowe, only to find the GN Diver right under their noses. I had to go home and get my gear to photograph this superb adult in summer plumage. Unfortunately the light was worse than in the morning but beggars can't be choosers.All images taken with a Nikon D300 and a 300 to 800mm sigma zoom.

    Oh wow. I just love seeing the Loons. These are fabulous photos! A lot of Loons were on a nearby lake back in April/May as they migrated. I'm always there with my camera.
