Had some great fun with Johnny Lynch at
GROVEBURY SAND PIT in BEDFORDSHIRE, where the juvenile GREAT NORTHERN DIVER he
espied yesterday afternoon was still present and afforded the two of us a
fabulous swim past - see my photographic efforts below. Did a full inventory of
the site whilst I was there with 22 Great Crested Grebe logged, Grey Heron, 18
Cormorant, 99 Atlantic Canada Geese, 12 Mallard, 8 Common Teal, 28 Wigeon, 66
Tufted Duck, 39 Northern Pochard, 6 Moorhen, 202 Coot, 4 Lapwing, 2 PEREGRINES
(male & female), 22 Lesser Black-backed Gulls and an adult Great
Black-backed Gull.
I later joined Jim Gurney at ARLESEY BLUE LAGOON
mid-afternoon where the two wandering juvenile VELVET SCOTER, miraculously
located the following morning after departing Gypsy Lane West by the location's
regular checker Andy Grimsey, were both showing well, diving frequently on the far
side of the boating lake.
