(R7) Black-necked Grebe (Podiceps nigrocollis)

            Taken in Nottinghamshire at a site I've been watching this species for 12 years +.

We spotted a weather window so decided to go this morning. Originally disappointed has we could hear calling but no visuals. We moved down to the lower pool and saw a distant pair so moved further down where a single was found but  at a distance from us.

We settled in cover hoping eventually it would come closer, which I'm glad to say it did.

Eventually it moved off in the direction of the pair.
We extracted ourselves from our cover and walked back towards the pair    

On the way back to our car we sited and heard calling on the middle pool, so stopped to have a look. We found an additional 2 pairs, but no possibility of shots has too distant.
