Woolston Eyes had been closed for a long time because of the pandemic so we were glad to be able to get back there and get our annual Black-necked Grebe experience. As it happened there were very few on show for us and we nly managed to get one pair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
It seems that there were around 20 onsite that day but they seemed to elude us. We had a very enjoyable morning managing also to get in a small group of Bramblings. It was a good birding day and we followed up by some lunch at the Stretton Fox<\/p>\n\n\n\n
