The trip to Farmoor was a quick trip, specifically to see a Red-necked Grebe that had been hanging about. As always with reservoirs, it was freezing cold and blowing a gale, but the sun was also out so it was quite a pleasant walk. We had heard there were also a couple of Slavonian Grebe about and spent an embarrassingly long time staring at a few Little Grebe trying to turn them into Slavonian! Thankfully we stumbled across a lovely little Slavonian Grebe further round the reservoir, just before we came across the Red-necked Grebe and the many birders watching it. It was quite playful and very quick to move, which was good for exercise but not so great for my hangover.
