Red Necked Grebe and 4 x Ring Necked Ducks


We spent Bank Holiday Monday in oxford area, we went back to Farmoor Reservoir for the Red Necked Grebe, didn't come as close as last time, but lovely to see in the sunlight really is a beautiful grebe. Also had nice views of a Wheatear, and Little Egret, we missed an Osprey fly over when we went back to the car for tea lol but got to see Brimstone Butterfly and photograph them there beautiful butterfly's.  
We then went onto on Standlake for the 4 Ring Necked Ducks, had nice views through Dave's Telescope and could see the white detail on the beaks, they look like tufted ducks but with a funny shape head, lovely ducks and an honour to see them.
Also had nice views of Red Kite get excited every time I see one :)

Red Necked Grebe at Farmoor Reservoir, oxon


Great day went to Farmoor Reservoir for the Red Necked Grebe took us awhile to locate him and was far out but Dave new he would come in closer we waited and in no time we were having stunning views, beautiful looking grebe, the dark orange, red neck really stands out, the light was bad but still had excellent views and a few photos, and love it when they dive running to where it's going to come up which Dave is brilliant at working out :)
