Prescot Reservoirs,
The juv great northern diver was still present this afternoon. Also adult yellow legged gull, 13 pochard, 31 goldeneye, 11 ruddy duck and 7 little grebe. Short eared owl seen at eccleston mere late afternoon by JT.
I'm surprised it's still there. What's it finding to eat? It must be on a starvation diet. Doesn't it know that there are enough fish in Eccleston Mere to keep 100 Great Northerns happy?? Nice photo.
Obviously a discerning great northern diver appreciating the lack of dog walkers, fishermen and sailing boats. Plenty of sticklebacks in the res. Steve
