Great Northern Diver.
Yesterday the 19th January i went to Chatham to try and see the Great Northern Diver that has taken up winter residence in Basin 2 , i had a walk around the basin and eventually saw the GND on the far side of the basin , eventually it came closer and i had some really great views.
Note the really steep forehead.
Normally with GND they are only seen whizzing past a headland on a sea watch but every so often they take up residence on inland reservoirs or harbours and in this case Basin 2, it's well worth a look if you get the chance.

Local Woodland : 13th January
Hawfinch.
On the 13th January i finally caught up with the Hawfinch eruption at a local woodland , i saw 40+ birds in a couple of tight flocks.
In Flight.
I mostly saw them in flight and every so often they would be seen in the top of trees , quite an impressive sight.
