Black-necked Grebe:Llanilid
Managed to get down to the site after work this evening,light was very poor and had to push the ISO a bit but pleased to get a few record shots.
"Plumage tick" for me,first one I've seen in summer plumage.
Must have just missed you Jeff. Mind you I nearly missed the pond completely and was very close to heading up to the big lake to check there. Cracking area though. Very nice collection of photos, I especially like the wing-flapping ones.
Hi Mark, I met up with Peter Morgan and he mentioned that you had just left so I couldn't have missed you by much. I got lucky with the "open wing" shots as it decided to have a bit of a stretch only minutes after I arrived. Just a shame that the bird didn't move much from the middle of the water and kept it's distance.
