finally managed to get out for a little while. Here’s couple of pix of the L-t Duck seen this afternoon, one in mid-dive.

John, good shots.
I was down this morning from 11.00am to 1 pm taking shots. The duck was very active diving for a good hour, then slept for an hour then flew off at 1pm when I left. It has been missing quite a few days (particullarly when the sun is out – every day I go down to take photos!) – so good to hear it came back later this afternoon. What time did you go down?
I thought they only ate sea molluscs but it was diving on the edge of the feeding flock of swans – the swans were obviously stirring up the bottom as they grabbed for bread and the LTD was probably picking up the wildlife that was thrown up.
No sign of any med gulls when I was there.
Hi Andy
My wife & I went down for a walk at around 2 p.m. I’ve got a nice head shot [cropped] which shows the bill serrations used for chomping on molluscs which I’ll post in a mo. I guess as it’s out of its normal habitat it’ll eat whatever it can get it’s bill on.
