The winter-plumaged SLAVONIAN GREBE that had been present on Tongwell Lake for several weeks was seen yesterday morning at Willen Lake South Basin and photographed - it is still in black and white plumage (per Adam Bassett).
Adam also tells me that he had a 'new' first-winter MEDITERRANEAN GULL in the Spade Oak Nature Reserve roost and Graham Smith has seen that same bird today.
Also be minded that I have set up a new Birding Tring Reservoirs email group for those of you who restrict your birding to that general area - it may provide you with something of interest - click here http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BirdingTringReservoirs/ to join
All the very best
