Loon

 

Spent half an hour watching a majestic Great Northern Diver fishing in the murky brine of Scarborough Harbour. A gentle-looking immature bird and remarkably confiding, approaching within a few metres of where we crouched on the boatramp. Some of the lines and colours reflected in the water made my snaps quite abstract in a few cases.

Nearby, a Shag was roosting on the rocks by Marine Drive, with Grey Seals, Harbour Porpoises and Common Scoters offshore.
