Great Northern Diver at Carnsew Pool

Well we are still having a unbelievable run of cloud and crap light, and it looks set to continue. Well all I could do today was practice trying to get a bit closer to the Great Northern Diver using the D300s instead of the D3s.  Well I did get closer but had to wait over an hour for the bird to come in range and by then the light was very poor. So just the one shot, but at least the good shots will be there if the sun ever appears again before the bird departs.

Good shot in the bad light Bob.
We've had one of these at my local lake since the middle of November. Nice birds to see.

Don't give up on this one Bob as it's a great bird and you're close enough. Just pray for that little bit of light!

Thanks for all the comments, I won't be giving up on getting a better shot, just need the right lighting conditions. On that point still not looking good for a few days yet!!!!
