Then an old friend appeared much further up the lochan. The lovely Little Grebe (or Dabchick).

Although not uncommon these guys are not the easiest to photograph - no sooner have you got them in frame then they dive - I have a fine collection of photos of swirls in the water with maybe patch of white rump showing.
