Juvenile Black-necked Grebe, Brockholes Quarry 9 July 2008.With the weather a little better I returned to the quarry again at lunchtime. Not just to photograph the Black-necked Grebe but with the added incentive of a Redstart found by Bill Aspin just before midday (thanks for the text Bill). Only the third Redstart to be recorded at the quarry so the Rapid Response Twitching Machine made the six mile journey from my home by 13.45PM! Anyway, the quarry mega (a nice juvenile) was still on show perched on the barbed wire fence along the Ribble Way when I arrived being suitably patch-ticked by various birders called Bill and at least one Tony. Few LRP's around No 1 Pit where the juv' Black-necked Grebe was showing well in one corner. Main Pool is still crying out for a rare wader ..........
