Staines Reservoir 23 December 2011
A quick visit before disappearing into Sainsburys with the rest of the joyess Christmas shoppers, before the weather closed in produced the Great Northern Diver, Shag, immature male Scaup and three Water Pipits. I was unable to locate the two Black-necked Grebes that were probably there, but it did seem worth while spending too long hunting for them as breakfast called!
