  1. I wondered why I had met this beautiful common scoter drake on the beach for a few days in a row. Normally they swim in larger groups on the seeside until they migrate back to their breeding grounds. You usually don't get this close to them here: it seems as if he has lost some of his tail feathers. Is that why he is still here and has not flown home?

  2. I think this is a special photo.

    I love photographing birds hunting underwater as they dive down. Some dive in a similar way, but they all have their own technique. The red-breasted merganser dives in a similar way to a cormorant - but in a MUCH higher arc. I have never observed a higher arc in any other diver.
