More water birds

Some more photos of some of the waterbirds on show today. The cold weather is making them much more approachable than usual. Little Grebes are particularly confiding at the moment and I enjoyed watching up to 6 of these tiny birds feeding successfully today. The last photo below shows the density of birds in the relatively small patch of open water - how many species can you see (I make it 9)?

Photos: Little Grebe; Little Grebe with fish; a presumed Pochard x Tufted Duck hybrid; and an example of the range of species sharing the small open area of water today.
