FARMOOR RESERVOIR

As it was a nice day I drove over to Farmoor reservoir with the hope of seeing the red-necked grebe and possibly some yellow wagtails. As I started walking round the smaller of the two reservoirs, the great northern divers were pointed out to me; I had seen them last year but it was worth trying for some better photos. I spoke to a couple who had just been watching a pair of yellow wagtails but they had been frightened off and unfortunately didn't reappear for me. Eventually I located the red necked grebe, which was attracting several photographers.  
Species seen during my visit: great northern divers, red necked  grebe, great crested grebe, mallard, tufted duck, pied wagtail, heron, house martins, cormorant, greylag geese, meadow pipit, wheatear.
