What a pity I can't believe I missed you! I was there until just before 1.30! It was asleep for a while then came alive for photos when the sun came out.
There were 2 Little Grebes earlier otherwise pretty much the same.

Sunday 25th November

Lunchtime visit to see the female Velvet Scoter, an absolute cracker of a bird, nice one Phil.

Reminded me a bit of Audenshaw as it was bitterly cold around the reservoir yet milder back at the car.

Some more Velvet Scoter photos, the last one immediately before it dived. I'm sure there will be lots more.
