Hi No Loons, but there was a gorgeous ad male Barrow’s Golden-eye diving in the south-west corner, seen at about 1:pm.
For those interested, the golden-eye was first discovered by Thomas Drummond in 1819 while exploring, on a solo expedition to the Canadian Rocky Mountains. The new species was then formally named after John Barrow, Secondary Secretary of the Royal Navy whose main responsibility was to oversee a discovery of a North-west passage through the ice covered Canadian Arctic which would have connected trade with the Asian markets. A route was never found, but still England had great admiration for Barrow, thus Barrow’s Golden-eye.
