I hadn't seen a Red-necked Grebe for yonks - yonks, and yonks, to be precise - so news of a long-stayer in the county eventually got the better of me. Saturday dawned bright and not too breezy - so for some strange reason I ended up delaying teh trip to the coast until it started to cloud over.
By the time I got Lade GPs with Max it was starting to drizzle. Thankfully we made the most of a dry thirty minutes and legged it over the gravel to see the grebe.
The light was naff, too much wind, blah, blah, blah...usual excuses...

We then headed on to Dungeness RSPB reserve to avoid the rain - enjoying a couple of Cattle Egrets en route.
