Black-necked Grebe, Thorpe Marshes, Norwich, 3 February 2017

A very quick pop in to Thorpe Marshes between family visits resulted in a nice easy location of the Black-necked Grebe on St Andrew's Broad. Viewing was a little tricky through reeds on the near edge but some nice views were had of it actively fishing. A bit too distant for anything other than record shots though. Also on the water were a good smattering of Gadwall while a Water Rail scuttled for cover in a ditch and a Kingfisher 'peeped' as it flew along the river.
