3 Oct - after a 45 minute search, I located the Black-necked Grebe at Frampton sailing lake, swimming and preening actively - a dumpy bird going in to winter plumage, with dusky cheeks and neck sides and an upturned bill (photo, copyright Martin McGill). Also seen, 2 Little Egrets and a Grey Wagtail by the car park. Glos 2008 year list now 182.
Spending a couple of days at home this week produced a Little Egret flying over the river at the bottom of the fields on the morning of the 3rd, and 2 Ravens making a low flypast, calling and agitating the resident Carrion Crows, on the 4th.
