Sovereign Harbour
Eastbourne
The unusual occurrence of 3 divers in a small local harbour took me down to Sovereign Harbour in Eastbourne . It was a glorious afternoon with bright sunshine and clear skies but very cold.
It didn't take long to locate the birds - the Great Northern Diver and the Black-throated Diver first then, after a little walk the Red-throated Diver was spotted. All were in the outer harbour at low tide and the views were second to none.

There was a strong supporting cast too with a Guillemot and several Great-crested Grebes.
Superb birding and so convenient.
