A puncture in this mornings deluge did not go down too kindly with my temperament and the morning was a washout with only the Smew male briefly off farnborough bank, Lesser Scaup first winter male in toft and distant views of Great-northern Diver to show for sticking out the elements. After 2pm the rain lifted though the gloom persisted and constant sweeps of the reservoir showed no sign of the Red-necked Grebe so presumed gone and the GND was a little closer but seems to be content feeding in an area about five hundred yards off valve tower. Have not aged it yet but may be an adult. One Golden Plover over, Oystercatcher in biggen bay and a female Pintail. Intended to stay for roost but after having an early first winter Med Gull the next shower threatened so called it quits.
Out of county tomorrow so next post may not be till Friday
