Red-necked Grebe - Hartlepool Marina

[IanF]

One in the marina this morning mostly amongst the boats behind the Premier Inn though late morning it moved into the open water by Jacksons Landing when the strong winds eased.

A few of my shots from this morning. The bird spent a lot of time in open water giving good views, diving occasionally, catching and devouring a crayfish.

Still present this morning and much more tolerant of people though still a little wary. It was swimming between the dinghies and between fishing lines behind the Premier Inn.

Still present this morning. The last few visits it's remained quite distant but today it was giving quite close views again. I think a power boat disturbed it from the north side as several Mergansers came with it from there.
