Leeshaw Reservoir

 Thursday 2nd January a.m.

After my earlier visit to the Tarn with the sun still shining at -1°C I braved some ice roads and went to Leeshaw Reservoir in search of a rare special bird which was found here a couple of days ago.  A few birders were already here and they told me the bird was still present so a walk up to the track where I located the bird on the opposite side of the Reservoir.  After a short wait there was some disturbance and the  Red-necked Grebe flew nearer to me so I was able to get a good view of it and some decent pictures.

 While I was there two flocks of Canadas & Greylags flew in, a Cormorant was also seen.
