After consultation yesterday, a decision was made to release the Red-throated Diver onto the Reservoir at Old Moor rather than take it to the coast today. Apparently they do not usually 'keep well overnight'. At 6am this morning it was seen asleep in the middle of the res and was also seen later in the morning, but then disappeared We would like to think it flew off, but if it did, nobody saw it do so.
