Slavonian Grebe in the CWP



28 Dec - a lunchtime visit to Dudgrove, pit 114, and good views of a Slavonian Grebe, at first diving actively then later preening in open water (photo, copyright Paul Masters). Small, dumpy, contrasting black/white colouration, a rare bird inland. Possibly the one seen at Farmoor yesterday? Presumably displaced by the surrent cold weather and easterly winds. Glos year list for 2008 now 187.
