Black-necked grebes at St. Aidans

 


Weatherwise not as nice as yesterday. After carrying out the H&S checks I had a walk around the reserve in the hazy sunshine.

The background sound was the noise made by the black-headed gulls, with the booming of bitterns as a musical interlude. Plenty of male reed buntings chasing about. I heard at least six cetti's warblers singing and even managed to see one, year tick 118.

A male pochard looked splendid in the sunshine.


At one point along the Western reedbed I came across at least 5 black-necked grebes. They were chasing each other about. The pictures are poor as I was looking into the light. Year tick 119.
