Slavonian Grebe on Arrow Valley Lake (Redditch)





Arrow Valley Lake produced a real gem last week when Mark Islip found a winter plumage Slavonian Grebe. Frustrating I was at work when I received the message so wasn't able to get there. Mark caught sight of the Grebe through the reed bed on his bike. A great find that attracted many local birders to Arrow Valley which rarely attracts a variety. I did manage to get down to the lake after work but the Grebe was sleeping most of the time. Pit photographer Mark Clarke kindly sent a couple of images from his visit earlier in the day. The Little Egret was captured by the weir car park.
