Little Grebe Bonanza. Ogden

                                                  1 of 7 Little Grebe

                                                              Going down


                                          3 together out on deep water

                                                       3 surrounding a BHG

                                               Male Tufted still present

Back home late afternoon after a strenuous afternoon taking the grand daughters out so being sunny and bright it was back to Ogden to check passerine alley to see if there was any eastern promise.
The Willows and nearby Rowans were alive tonight with Tits , Chaffinches, Robins and Wrens but no crests and certainly no Y.B. Warb.
The water was also busy with a mounting number of Mallard along with c150 BHgulls and 1 drake Tufted.
I soon picked out a Little Grebe quickly followed by another, then 3 together out in the middle and after a good scan round I had a count of 7.
The photos were the hard bit but fortunately most of them were nearer to the west bank so at least I could have the sun behind me although the whole of that side is so overgrown now it was hard to find places where I could see the water.
I got some wierd looks from passers by when I had my head stuck through the hedges but with a lot of patience and swearing I managed a few pics.
Better keep an eye on Ogden for a Pied Billed Grebe !
Another weekend over and into October with still no real signs of visible migration.
Thanks for the Kessie pic Tracy, great stuff.
