Pied-Billed Grebe

Hi

I had not even heard of these before today, so I was pleased that it turned up at Hollingworth Lake, a short distance from me, although the pics are not brilliant, I am still pleased that I was able to get some shots - big crops even with my 500 + a 1.4 converter





Regards

Mike

Sorry not into birding myself but had to have a look at the thread as it's just down the road from me.

Been told it's been 10 years since one was last seen on our shores.
