Dunstable Sewage Works

Had an hour to spare this afternoon so popped into the sewage works to see what was about. It was all rather dull and grey but the now long staying Black-necked Grebe was still on site on number 3 along with 2 Little Grebes, there were plenty of Teal and some very handsome Gadwall. Other species seen on site today, Pochard, Mallard, Coot, Moorehen, Water Rail, Heron, Little Egret, Canada Goose, Mute Swan, Shelduck, Cormorant, Black Headed Gull, Kingfisher, Buzzard, Sparrowhawk, Wren, Great and Blue Tit, Dunnock, Blackbird, Song Thrush and last but not least a lovely Stonechat.

Photos of the Black- necked Grebe at Dunstable Sewage Treatment Works from last week taken on 02-01-2015, its a real shame we had so much fog on site on Sunday during the open day.

A grey day at P C Park but well worth the effort to see this little beauty, the fudge was also present

MVCP - Ravens & Black-necked Grebes

 

A couple of photos of the two Balck-necked Grebes that were near the lagoon corner of Stewartby Lake today. Whilst Martin Palmer and I were watching the grebes Martin heard a Raven calling and two flew over us. I was very pleased to see, and (badly...) photograph, these as they were a site tick for me... The last site tick I had was Spoonbill in September 2011. Photos by Martin Green.

Garganey at the Long Pool, MVCP.



One of three Arctic Tern at Chimney Corner North. No sign of Sandwich Tern; MJP picked out a Black-tailed Godwit.





On any other day, finding an Osprey would be a notable event - not this day, however !

Thanks to the finders !!

2 Black-necked Grebes

Black-necked Grebes, Priory CP, 30th November 2008 by Steve Blain. Presumably these same two individuals were seen at Paxton Pits (Cambs) the day before, and at Furzton Lake (Bucks) the day after.

Radwell's Black-necked Grebe again

Present for its 13th day at least.

Radwell Black-necked Grebe

Like buses...only in grebe form...

Black-necked Grebe at Wyboston

My second Black-necked Grebe found on a Wyboston WeBS count in as many years. It actually flew in as I was doing the count. This is a juvenile bird. Had me scratching my head for a bit as it seems to show some features of Slavonian. On some of my out of focus shots - of which there are many, the head shape is more Slav than BNG.
