Pacific Diver at Carnsew Pool

Hi, made my first visit to Carnsew Pool.  It was very windy with squally showers.  The Pacific Diver seemed to know I was taking pictures (or trying to ) and just stuck to doing circuit in the middle of the pool. When he eventually got close enough , just! the heavens opened, typical.  Managed to get some record shots though, not technically great in any way but no mistaking what it is.  Then got home to find my internet had been knocked out by the thunderstorms, knocking off my electrics and shorting out my satalite system also!!!!! Hence the reason why most of you will be viewing this post on Tuesday and not Sunday PM.  The images well, three of the Pacific Diver, one Curlew  and one Cormorant swallowing a large eel.

Cormorant: Exif: Canon 1D MK111, 600mm F4 lens with 1.4x teleconverter (840mm), Aperture Priority, F5.6, 1/1000 sec, ISO 400, + 0.7 stop
