Red Necked Grebe, Fairhaven Lake, Lancashire, January 8th 2011

A quick trip down to Fairhaven Lake with Ian Walker  I'd been at work when Ian had seen it the previous day, and he'd said it came close to the waters edge, so photographic opportunities might arise. He wasn't wrong as we were all rewarded with great views as it swam around the boating lake.Good to catch up with photographers Chris Galvin and Steve Young.
