Black-necked Grebe at Cliffe Pools

Well it would be nice to say that this was a bird that I had found, but sadly it had been seen for a number of days and I just hunted for it until I finally saw it on the far side of Radar. a very neat little grebe, certainly not much larger than a Little Grebe, and spending a lot of time diving, making it even more difficult to pick up.

I just missed 12,000 Dunlin apparently, quite a sight according to the two who did see them!

Lots of lapwings, Curlew, Golden Plover (some Grey maybe), Ringed Plover, Dunlin, maybe a few Black-tailed Godwits. Where are all the Redshank??

Teal, Wigeon, Pochard, Tufted Duck, Goldeneye, Clangula bucephala, Pintail, Mallard, Shoveller, Shelduck
