Juvenile black-necked grebe, Pennington Flash


Typically at this time of year at least one juvenile black-necked grebe turns up off the car park at the flash, usually loosly associating with coots and I've been keeping my eyes open for them for days. Finally today I found this bird exactly where I expected it. 

This is the first black-necked grebe that I have seen at the flash this year, and I was a bit worried that I might not see any because I believe that they've had a bad year at Woolston.

Also today, drake common scoter diving for mussels, four common sandpipers and four common terns.
