Hi Katherine

A pair of Black-necked Grebes was REPORTED today on Thorpe Lake by the same person who also REPORTED 20 Garganey on Grebe Lake last week...................

I will have a look first thing tomorrow morning but find it wise to keep an open mind.

1 Willow Tit calling just north of the railway crossing

Regards

Grahame

Hmm..... are you saying that you suspect that some comedian's opened a stringing factory? Anyhows, my parents were with me and were very impressed as it was their first visit. We may become regular visitors, popping in about once every 6 weeks or so!
