I headed over to Farmoor reservoir where there have been both black and red necked grebes in recent days. The forecast (I thought!) was for sun during the afternoon, but on arrival it soon started to spit with rain, although still fairly warm. Having started to cross the causeway which divides F1 and F2 of the reservoir, I decided to carry on and hope the rain didn't become too heavy, I was wearing my waterproof so wasn't too worried, but obviously any photos I took wouldn't be so good.
Walking around F2 (the larger of the two reservoirs) I saw all three wagtails, albeit yellow too distant to photograph, good numbers of coot ( one with a juvenile), black headed gull, greater black backed gull, great crested grebe, mallard, swan, dunlin, grey lag goose, red necked grebe ( but no black necked one) .
