Divers are always worth going for in the county, and Red-throated and Black-throated Divers have been scarce in Derbyshire in recent years. Butterley Reservoir is a relatively small body of water, so I was hoping that the diver would be showing reasonably well for the camera. I saw the bird on 25th October during the morning, and it took a while before it drifted over to my side of the reservoir and showed really well,&nbsp; but in the afternoon it was reported to have been scared off by an anglers bait boat and wasn&#8217;t seen again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\"
