Iceland Trip - Great Northern Divers

Another post from the Iceland trip, a few more still to come.
The Great Northern Diver tends to prefer larger lakes, making it more difficult to photograph. Plenty of waiting for the bird to come close enough for a decent shot. We were lucky with one pair that were at the end of a very large lake. They were confined to the only part of the lake that wasn't frozen over. This made things easier, as they were at a good distance for shots. I never managed to get many photographs of this species in really good light on this trip. A black and white bird on white water isn't great, an exposure and processing nightmare, but I'm quite pleased with the results.... much better than I had expected before I processed them.
