Trip to Eastbourne Black-throated Diver.

After a bit of a mix up as to where to head to we end up in Eastbourne in Sussex. The other option was to go to Dorset for the Surf Scoter that would have been a lifer for all of us, but as I said we all got our wires crossed with Brian not knowing about this bird & we were half way to Eastbourne before Jimmy & myself spoke about it,so we just hope we can get some good close up views of the Black-throated Diver that we find on Crumbles Pond in Princes Park.
Its a busy local spot, with runners & Dog walkers stopping the Diver from getting to near to us as it stays near the middle of the pond.
While here a good few photographers arrive but I don't think they got any fantastic photos of it.

Not the best day day birding that we have had as it was a long drive for such little reward, the diver could have been a bit more sociable, but it was still a better choice than
watching Arsenal as it turns out.
