27th August 2023 - whilst on his regular visit to Granta Park, David F spotted two rather interesting species on the lake. It was not until quite recently that a Great Crested Grebe was seen on the lake, but they have clearly been around for a little while now, as David saw not only two adults, but also two juveniles (these being the ones with the stripy heads).
Shortly afterwards, he also saw a Little Grebe, which were believed to be nesting around the lake margins this year, and this photo of the juvenile, with the stripy head, rather confirms this!
