AT LAST A BLACK NECKED GREBE SHOT IN SUMMER PLUMAGE.


Although I've been lucky enough to see them several times I've never been able to get a decent shot of a Black Necked Grebe in summer plumage before.It's only taken me 13 years but yesterday I managed it.

The timing could not have been worse because I had a dentist's appointment at 2.00 PM and a text from John Oates telling me a BNG was on the Engine Pool at Earlswood lakes arrived at 12.00 noon.After dithering a while I decided to go after the dentist and hope it was still there.

Luckily when I arrived at the lakes it was still there and fairly close in although the sun was in the wrong place but I'm not moaning what a cracking bird.Great to get some decent shots at last.
