Draycote Water (Birds) - 30th August 2024

 

Black Necked Grebe

Returning to one of my old birding patches, that of Draycote Water, Warwickshire in the hope of finding the Black Necked Grebe as a year tick. Obviously I did, but it took a couple of hours "grilling" all of the birds, not helped by so many Little Grebes!
