Back on 12th December I made a visit to Llanishen and Lisvane Reservoirs in Cardiff to see and photograph the juvenile Black-throated Diver which had recently taken up residence on Llanishen Reservoir.
The weather was dry and very overcast with not great light which seems to have been the case throughout December and the bird was found fishing in the centre of the reservoir from which it barely moved.
I bumped into old friend Rob Mitchell who was just leaving and a fairly new birder/togger who introduced himself as Nick Perry from Cardiff and we kept each other company for 25-30 minutes hoping that the bird would come in to shore a little closer but it never came closer than about 100m.
We both tried our best to get some photos given the gloom and distance of the bird and I was reasonably pleased to get some detail in my images before heading off home........
