2 Little Grebes, Teal

Still warm but somewhat cloudy in the morning, at least to begin with. A Wren sat up briefly in a similar position to the other day, but light conditions weren't as good. Similarly the pair of Teal were close to the path among the overhanging branches, and difficult to photograph as they fed constantly.

The afternoon was warm and sunny, c. 17°C. A Great Crested Grebe fed in the south-west corner, then little else until I reached the reserve when I saw two Little Grebes swimming across the pool left to right.
