Black Neck Grebes

I have been out of circulation for a couple of days, however I visited Drift Reservoir to photograph the two Black Necked Grebe overwintering there. They spent some time in the reserve section at the rear of the dam but patience paid of and they eventually passed close to the hide allowing reasonable photography, although with the cloud cover it meant pushing the ISO to 1000 again.

Stormy Weather

The Coal Tit in the garden was battling against the wind today, it looks like it will overwinter here.

It was low water at Sennen Cove today when I captured the sea images, imagine the scene if it was high tide, you will notice that the shag had to take evasive action to avoid the rough sea.
