I was at Humberston when I saw this GND reported on Birdguides, many thanks to the person who reported it.. The light was fading when I arrived, so I was not expectant. To my surprise it surfaced almost immediately at the main river bridge after an obvious successful dive..

Great Northern Diver is back and can be viewed from the road bridge. Park near Railway Heritage visitor center

Still present until 10.30 at least. Drifting slowly up towards the Lock. Probably 200 yards upstream of the mooring platforms at that time. Showing very well although it did tend to submerge whenever a group of cyclists rode by. We walked up to Branston Delph before returning. It was not immediately obvious on our return about 11.30 but had seemed settled enough.

Still present at 14:45 but downstream from road bridge. Also 1 seal seen distantly downstream from bridge, probably Common but only poor distant views.

Got there just after you. Diver moving slowly towards the bridge good views until a doofus photographer jogged down the river bank until he managed to push it round the bend and out of sight

Still present this morning (Monday) but often distant. After a long wait it did
eventually come close enough to the bridge for a few reasonable shots - made hanging
about on that cold and draughty bridge worthwhile!

Great Northern Diver still present downstream of the Road Bridge today
