Well done with the Shoveler again Andy. We do have records for Little Grebe there and on the stretch of river just behind. A good bird to get all the same.
Little Grebe used to breed there in the early nineties
Thanks Andy - I picked the pair of Shoveler up this afternoon deep in the willows in the main pond, but took me 40 mins! You did well to find them in the first place. Little Grebe still there plus at least 2 pairs of Teal. 1 Reed Bunting and c6 Swallows.
