Black-necked Grebe - Llanishen Reservoir, Cardiff : 1st September 2024

My first birding venture of September was a visit to Llanishen Reservoir in Cardiff for the one remaining visiting Black-necked Grebe with good friends and fellow birders/toggers Dave Gilbert and his talented grandson Jenson.

We met on the outskirts of Cardiff at Longwood Drive near ASDA and leaving my X Trail made our way to the reservoir in Dave's van.

Upon arrival we were informed by another birder that the bird was showing at the opposite end of the reservoir to the visitor centre so onwards we marched and quickly found the bird which was a well received 'lifer' for Jenson.

The bird came within 20-30m from the bank and the three of us 'filled our boots' taking photos..........
