Five black-necked grebes on the flash today, at the western Slag Lane end. Four of them were in summer plumage, but the fifth was in non-breeding plumage. Also today, two singing reed warblers and a common tern.
Year: 187 (Black-necked grebe, reed warbler).
Summer plumage black-necked grebe.
The non-breeding bird stayed close to the others but never quite seemed part of the group.
