Little Grebe (Tachybaptus ruficollis)

... or Dabchick!

Not the greatest of pictures, as the light was pretty poor that day, but it was some years since I'd seen one of these at the reserve.

I'm sure they'd been around all that time, but probably on the far side. They used to be regular in front of the Gullery hide.

Hopefully we'll get to see them more regularly again.
