2 Treecreepers, 2 Goosander, Great Crested Grebe

The sun was shining for once this morning.  I had my first (local) Treecreepers of the year; two birds on birches by the path before the second bridge.  From the hide, a couple of female Goosanders were behaving rather well, but the low morning sunshine made photography a bit of a challenge.  A Great Crested Grebe also swam by, creating similar issues.
