On a second attempt to find the White-billed Diver at Broughty Ferry I decided to start at the Stannergate end and walk east to Broughty Harbour. On my previous visit I walked from Broughty Ferry Castle to Stannergate and back with too much kit and no sign of the diver.
Despite some pessimism, a flat sea and an ebbing tide, I picked out the diver a fair way out and directly south of Balmyle Road and Beech Lane. As Olive and I approached the diver obliged and came more inshore and on a few dives close enough to get photos into weak sunlight on "the Silvery Tay".
Yet another rarity to add to Olive's list which includes Black Stork, Glossy Ibis, Grey Phalarope and Ross's Goose....
I've posted a few photos as it will be a very long time if ever, before White-billed Divers to turn up inshore again, not in my lifetime!
