Red-throated diver
A red-throated diver has just been spotted heading from the River Wear onto Wader Lake!
They usually winter on the coast so it has most likely been forced up river by the extreme cold snap.
We don't have a pic but here's a link to some nice ones we found online http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=rspb+red+throated+diver&view=detail&id=A16F6CA2269B2FB9207658E64EB3D77596C96466&qpvt=rspb+red+throated+diver
