On a dull day with icy easterlies, a red-throated diver was close in to shore at Ardmair; and I sat in the car watching it for half an hour. Now and then it dived for food, but mostly it dabbled.
A cormorant was around for a while, and then a shag with the beginnings of a crown-tuft flew in and fished close to the diver. There were eight or ten greylag geese on the sheep fields, but the skylarks seem to have moved on.
