Llanishen, am: A black-necked grebe was on the main lagoon, associating with some of the many little grebes currently present. Views were a bit distant (see dodgy record shot) but it looked similar to the juv bird that was on Lisvane Res yesterday. Also, plenty of movement going on with 1 wigeon, 8 teal, 2 mallards, 6 meadow pipits, 2 reed buntings, 8 chiffchaffs, 2 blackcaps, 31 Canadas, 2 mute swans, 3 moorhans, 10 tufties and 10 coots.

Lisvane, pm: no sign of any other BN grebes here today among 16 little grebes, but 1 redshank and 2 common sandpipers around the shoreline.
